摘要：The palm oil industry plays a vital role in the Indonesian economy. This industry can support sustainable development, since it is based on renewable natural resources. The contribution to sustainable development is hampered if the oil palm production system, especially of smallholder farmers, is not sustainable. Since almost half of the oil palm plantations in Indonesia are run by smallholder farmers, the sustainability of the oil palm farming of smallholder farmers may significantly influence the overall sustainability. The adoption of the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil production system by smallholder farmers may improve the sustainability of oil palm farming in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the adoption of the Indonesian Sustainable Oil Palm production system by smallholder farmers. Overall, respondents were 313 conventional smallholder farmers and 167 smallholder farmers implementing the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil production system. A structured-questionnaire was used to gather the data, while a data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling. The results reveal that the intention to directly adopt the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil production system influenced the adoption of Indonesian sustainable palm oil production. At the same time, the intention to adopt it was influenced by the perceived control behavior, perceived environment, and economic benefit. The influence of the perceived environmental benefit of the intention to adopt Indonesian sustainable palm oil was higher than that of the perceived economic benefit. The social-economic conditions of the farmers influenced the perceived environment and economic benefit.
