Abstract

The newly available technologies developed for oil palm industry can be adapted for various purposes both in the mill and plantation. However in many cases there is a need for further technical adjustments. The Indonesian Oil Palm Research Institute IOPRI is the front line to undertake intensive RD on oil palm by not only adopting technologies but also by conducting a long term research program such as breeding. In fact the contribution of improved planting materials as the outcome of consistent and long breeding program has proven the benefits of RD on the development of oil palm industry. IOPRI has just released two new improved varieties i.e ;high mesocarp; DxP PPKS 540 and ;big bunch; DxP PPKS 718 which have the potential to produce up to 9 tons CPO/ha/year. A number of other RD outputs have been adopted by the oil palm industry in Indonesia including best management practices integrated pest management soil and water conservation and integrated waste utilization at the mill based to promote sustainable palm oil concept. In addition IOPRI is also developing new packages of technology to address the challenges faced by oil palm industry. They include oil palm clones activated carbon-coated urea the production of palmbased biodiesel through heterogeneous catalyst integrated with carotene extraction biopolymer and specialty chemicals based on oil palm feedstock and ethanol from oil palm empty fruit bunch.
