KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. One of the reasons hampering the acceleration of the oil palm tree replanting program is the fact that many plots still have unclear legal status, Agrarian and Land Spatial Planning Minister Sofyan Djalil said on Thursday. For that reason, the government aims to distribute five million free land certificates by the end of the year to ensure that the replanting efforts can run smoothly and that farmers’ productivity can be improved. Last month, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo launched an oil palm tree replanting program in Musi Banyuasin, South Sumatra. Out of the 4,447-hectare plantation area, only 2,836 ha had been cleared.
