| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research investigated whether Indonesian oil palm sector has contributed to the alleviation of rural poverty from the case studies in East Kalimantan and West Sumatra. Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) has become widely recognized as a tool for self-determination of affected communities facing land loss from large-scale agricultural investment schemes in developing countries. Based on field research in the province of East Kalimantan, in addition to the practical implementation issues, the state of underdevelopment created by long-time neglect by the government and lack of future prospects for self-reliant development are highly important factors when the populations give consent to company advancement. In the case study of West Sumatra, local farmers have raised their incomes by growing oil palm, but sharp price drop at the international market since 2019 became a blow to the local livelihoods.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
アブラヤシは世界で最も生産・消費されている植物油であり、バイオ燃料としても需要が高い。しかし、栽培面積の急激な拡大が森林火災の発生や、生態系破壊に結び付くとして環境面の問題が指摘されている。本研究では、カリマンタンとスマトラという代表的な生産地で住民へのインタビューと参与観察を行うことを通し、近年人権上の問題から必須とされている「自由で事前の、十分な情報を与えられたうえでの合意(FPIC)」にも問題があり留意が必要であること、そして、地域住民が国際的に取引される商品作物のサプライチェーンに参加することで所得が向上する可能性はあるが、価格の乱高下から生活が脅かされるという問題を明らかにした。
