  abstract = {{I}ndonesia has been the world's largest producer and exporter of palm oil since 2008. {T}his paper discussed the livelihood impacts of oil palm development in {I}ndonesia, based on lessons learnt from {B}ungo district, in the province of {J}ambi. {T}he various community-company partnerships that structure the sector are reviewed and the difficulties raised by the joint ventures schemes are discussed. {T}he merits and drawbacks of oil palm as a smallholder crop are then analysed, based on household socio-economic surveys conducted in 2007-2010. {T}he main causes of conflicts between oil palm companies and communities are unclear land tenure, and a recurrent lack of leadership in smallholders' cooperatives. {U}nder fair partnerships between smallholders and companies, oil palm could become a smallholder friendly crop. {T}he land-use profitability analysis demonstrates the high returns that can be generated by oil palm independent smallholdings, making it highly competitive with rubber, and much more profitable than rice production.},
