Implementasi Kebijakan Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) Pada Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit di Kalimantan Barat

Indonesia is a country with the most significant palm oil production globally, while West Kalimantan is in the third rank of palm oil plantations in Indonesia. However, the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) policy by the European Union Parliament directly affects the Indonesian palm oil industry because it faces export barriers to Europe. By the European Union, Indonesia's palm oil in is considered not to meet these requirements because it is considered the cause of deforestation, environmental degradation that disturbs animal habitats, corruption, employing minors, and human rights violations against oil palm workers. Responding to the European Union's policy, the Indonesian government implemented the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) policy in 2009. This policy ensures that all oil palm plantation parties meet sustainable development standards. However, only a few palm oil companies have ISPO certificates. This study will analyze the factors that cause the Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) policy in West Kalimantan has not been effective. The researcher uses the concept of Sustainable Development and the Concept of Policy Implementation to analyze problems in implementing ISPO policies in West Kalimantan. The researcher used a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques for library research and field research through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation
