  • What is the palm oil industry in Sri Lanka?
  • The palm oil industry in Sri Lanka has been an import substitution policy initiative aimed at reducing palm oil imports and boosting the economy.
  • Are there different palm oil production situations in Sumatra?
  • We relied on high-spatial-resolution data from 26,505 villages in Sumatra describing four different palm oil production situations, the area of forest and the socio-economic characteristics of each village.
  • Do villagers in Sumatra have different palm oil production profiles?
  • The analysis relies on spatial econometric models to reveal correlations between the socio-economic characteristics of the villages in the region of Sumatra (Indonesia) and their land dedicated to different palm oil production profiles (active industrial plantations, active smallholder plantations and two types of unproductive plantations).
  • Why did Sri Lanka ban oil palm cultivation in 2021?
  • The 2021 ban on oil palm cultivation in Sri Lanka was primarily driven by concerns over its long-term environmental impact, owing to “soil erosion, drying of springs thus, affecting biodiversity and life of the community”.
