Analisis Dampak Strategi Peremajaan Sawit Rakyat (Psr) Terhadap Peningkatan Pendapatan Petani Swadaya Di Nagari Tapan Kecamatan Basa Ampek Balai Tapan

The oil palm plantation subsector plays a crucial role in the economy, and the income of aging independent smallholders shows a decline in production, impacting their welfare. The smallholder oil palm replanting program (PSR) is a step to increase productivity and sustainability in agricultural businesses. This study aims to evaluate the impact of PSR on the income of independent smallholders and identify challenges faced during replanting in Nagari Tapan, Basa Ampek Balai Tapan District. This study used qualitative methods, with data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that PSR contributes positively in the long term by increasing productivity and sustainability of the plantations. Although in the initial stages of replanting, farmers experience a decline in income for 1-3 years due to unproductive plants and a lack of capital.
