CIFOR, Oil Palm and GFSF
Ahmad Dermawan CIFOR
Global Futures & Strategic Foresight Extended Team Meeting
Rome, Italy | May 25-28, 2015
CIFOR and foresight
• Scenario development and analysis
• Local to national scales
• More qualitative exercises
Typical process
Integrated land use planning
Designing strategies to improve small scale operators
Formulating smallholder tree planting policies
A tool for community-based forest management
Aspirations
• Future works: – Moving towards a combination of quantitative
and qualitative scenario analysis – Forest-agriculture interface, land use – Focus on key commodities: timber, oil palm,
rubber – From national to global level – Make a better use of the data
• Foresight as an evaluation tool
CIFOR works on oil palm
• Review on the opportunities and challenges of oil palm expansion
• The role of oil palm in bioenergy • The role of oil palm in local economic
development • Engagement with national government (ISPO)
and multistakeholder process (RSPO, HCS)
Global oil palm picture
• The production of palm oil is concentrated • Top two countries (Indonesia and Malaysia)
contribute to 86% of global production • Top five countries (Top two, plus Thailand,
Colombia, and Nigeria) contribute to 92% of global production
• ASEAN countries contribute to 89% of production

Oil palm goes home
• Land is getting scarce in Indonesia and Malaysia
• Expansion to other regions, e.g. Africa
