Sektor perladangan kelapa sawit merupakan sektor yang sangat penting dalam industri pertanian dan merupakan penyumbang terpenting kepada ekonomi Malaysia. Namun begitu, isu tenaga buruh di sektor ini sering diperkatakan kerana masih berintensif buruh. Penyertaan golongan belia dalam sektor perladangan kelapa sawit adalah kurang memberangsangkan berbanding sektor lain walaupun sektor ini menawarkan peluang pekerjaan yang lebih luas. Oleh sebab itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti golongan belia yang lebih bersedia untuk melibatkan diri dalam sektor perladangan kelapa sawit berdasarkan faktor demografi mereka. Borang soal selidik digunakan bagi mengumpul data daripada responden yang terdiri daripada golongan belia berusia 18 hingga 35 tahun. Seramai 724 orang responden yang telah menjawab soal selidik ini mewakili setiap negeri di Malaysia. Data yang dikumpul dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis faktor dan model regresi logistik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa faktor jantina, bangsa, tempat tinggal, pengalaman, dan penglibatan ahli keluarga dalam sektor perladangan kelapa sawit merupakan faktor yang menyumbang kepada kesediaan belia untuk melibatkan diri dalam sektor tersebut. Faktor gaji, faedah, persekitaran kerja dan keselamatan perlu ditambah baik bagi menarik lagi minat golongan belia untuk melibatkan diri dalam industri pertanian negara khususnya di sektor perladangan kelapa sawit.   Abstract The oil palm plantation sector is a very important sector in the agricultural industry and is a major contributor to the Malaysian economy. However, the issue of labour in this sector is often addressed as it is labour-intensive. The participation of youths in the oil palm plantation sector is less favourable than the other sector although it offers greater employment opportunities. Therefore, this study aimed to identify youths who are better prepared to participate in the oil palm plantation sector based on their demographic factors. The questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents in the age range of 18 to 35 years. A total of 724 respondents answered this questionnaire representing each state in Malaysia. The data collected were analysed using the factor analysis method and logistic regression model. The results show that the gender, race, residence, experience and involvement of family members in the oil palm plantation sector are factors contributing to youths’ readiness to participate in the sector. Factors such as salary, benefits, work environment and safety factors need to be improved to attract more youths to participate in the agricultural industry, especially in the oil palm plantation sector. Keywords: Youth, labour force, oil palm, demographic factors, logistic regression.

This study aims to: (1) Analyze the development of Indonesian CPO export competitiveness in the global market from 1998 to 2017 (2) Analyze factors affecting the competitiveness of Indonesian CPO export in the global market from 1998 to 2017. The data used is time series spanning 20 years (1998-2017). The competitiveness of Indonesian CPO export in the global market is presented descriptively in the form of images, while affecting factors are analyzed using a multiple linear regression model. The results show that Indonesian CPO has comparative and competitive competitiveness in the global market. The results of multiple linear regression tests indicate that the factors that comparatively affect the competitiveness of Indonesian CPO exports in the global market are domestic CPO production, global CPO prices and petroleum prices while factors that competitively affect competitiveness are ​​oil palm plantation area, Malaysian export volume, soybean oil price and exchange rates. Factors that positively impact Indonesian CPO competitiveness are domestic CPO production, oil prices and the ​​oil palm plantation area. Improving these variables will increase the competitiveness of Indonesian CPO exports, while an increase in global CPO prices, soybean oil prices and the exchange rate will reduce the competitiveness of CPO exports. The variable that has no significant effect is the export volume of Malaysia.

Oil palm cultivation in Indonesia is increasing. This study investigates the financial and economic aspects of establishing an oil palm plantation using data collected in 2014. The financial case study is undertaken from the perspective of company in North Sumatra, Indonesia. A spreadsheet model was used to develop and calculate the net present value (NPV), return of investment (ROI), internal rate of return (IRR) and payback period (PP). Sensitivity analysis of the NPV to the default discount rate (10%) was included. A 8,000 ha plantation over 25 years was estimated to result in a positive NPV of USD 10,670 with a ROI 73.50% and an IRR at 14.83% and payback period of 6.75 years. Establishing an oil palm plantation seems to be very profitable investment on the basis of the assumptions made. System is tested on sensitivity in different capital and recurrent costs and in selling price of raw material, while change in selling price of FFB is more sensitive to NPV than change in investment and recurrent costs Discount rate is also one of the factors affecting NPV and system is tested between 5–15% change in discount rate.

Kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu tanaman meningkat paling pesat di dunia, dan mencakup lebih dari 13 juta ha di Asia Tenggara. Sumatera memiliki sejarah yang relatif panjang budidaya kelapa sawit komersial, dan banyak perkebunan telah menggantikan hutan hujan. Biasanya ini perkebunan monokultur mendukung spesies lebih sedikit daripada hutan, namun ada sangat sedikit informasi yang tersedia untuk kelelawar. Kami mencicipi kelelawar pemakan serangga di Sumatera Barat dalam perkebunan kelapa sawit matang di mana beberapa tutupan hutan dipertahankan di fragmen hutan di bukit-bukit dan di sepanjang sungai. Menggunakan total 180 kecapi perangkap malam kami dibandingkan dengan komunitas kelelawar dalam tiga jenis habitat: patch hutan, zona riparian dan perkebunan. Total kami ditangkap 1108 kelelawar yang mewakili 21 spesies dan 5 keluarga, dan mayoritas ini (dalam hal spesies dan kelimpahan) ditemukan di fragmen hutan. perkebunan kelapa sawit ditemukan menjadi habitat miskin untuk kelelawar - hanya empat orang dari dua spesies ditangkap. daerah pinggiran sungai didukung keanekaragaman menengah, dan mungkin penting sebagai koridor satwa liar antara fragmen hutan. Kata kunci : Biodiversitas, keleawar Microchiropteran

The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between vegetation indices of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and soil nutrient of oil palm plantation at Felcra Nasaruddin Bota in Perak for future sustainable environment. The satellite image was used and processed in the research. By Using NDVI, the vegetation index was obtained which varies from -1 to +1. Then, the soil sample and soil moisture analysis were carried in order to identify the nutrient values of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). A total of seven soil samples were acquired within the oil palm plantation area. A regression model was then made between physical condition of the oil palms and soil nutrients for determining the strength of the relationship. It is hoped that the risk map of oil palm healthiness can be produced for various applications which are related to agricultural plantation.

Development of oil palm plantation on peatland was faced with hydrophobicity problem caused by over drained. Hydrophobicity could reduce water retention and nutrient availability in the peat soil. Beside of proper water management application, addition of soil ameliorant which contain iron could increase stability and improve peat soil fertility. The study was conducted to obtain the effect of steel slag on peat soil properties and hydrophobicity. In this study, peat soil was incorporated with steel slag and incubated in 60 days period. The research was employed completely randomized design (CRD) factorial 2 x 2 x 4. First factor is peat maturity consists of two levels: sapric (S) and hemic (H), while the second factor is soil moisture which also consist of two levels: field capacity (W1) and dry (under the critical water content) (W2). The third factor is steel slag dosage which consist of four levels: 0 g pot (TB0), 7.17 g pot (TB1), 14.81 g -1 -1 pot (TB2), and 22.44 g pot (TB3). The result showed that application of steel slag significantly increase of soil pH, ash content, and water retention at pF 4.2. Furthermore, application of steel slag significantly reduce time for water reabsorption (wettability) in sapric. On the other hand, there are negative corellation between water penetration and soil pH, ash content, and water retention at pF 4.2. Overall, application of steel slag could increase wettability and prevent peat soil hydrophobicity.
