Popis: The achievement of expanding the area and volume of Indonesian palm oil production does not in line with the productivity. The productivity of Indonesian oil palm is inseparable from the age of the plants, most of which have exceeded their productive age. In addition, there are indications that the use of illegitimate seeds is relatively significant, causing yield gaps to potential productivity. Efforts to increase the productivity and sustainability of oil palm plantations have been carried out by forming a particular agency that collects and manages oil palm plantation funds. One of the programs to increase productivity and sustainability is the “Replanting of Smallholder Palm Oil (PSR)” with a grant scheme for participating farmers selected based on specific requirements. The progress of replanting realization is plodding. The target of 180,000 hectares per year cannot be realized. Accelerated breakthroughs without neglecting the primary mission of increasing productivity and sustainability are very urgent. This paper describes the results of a review on the importance of supporting seed institutional innovation for the acceleration of PSR towards increasing productivity and sustainability of Indonesian oil palm plantations.
