Palm is the origin plant from African comes into Indonesia through the Dutch VOC trading partnership, nearly 100 years ago. Palm gardens established in northern Sumatra, and the area became the central Indonesian oil palm plantation, until the early 1980s.

Seeing the great potential of palm oil, the government launched various programs such as the plantation industry development of palm is large national and private partnership program, including pattern of citizens or Nucleus Estate PIR-Trans. Thanks to these programs, supported the growth of global demand and other encouragement to this industry, the Indonesian palm oil production continues to increase. In 2006, Malaysia shifted from the throne of the world’s largest palm oil producer.

Indonesia now has 7.5 million hectares of oil palm plantations (MOA -2009), with 40 percent of which belongs to the people (Ditjenbun, 2009). National oil palm industry which occupies 6 percent of the total forest area of 132 million hectares, have been prospering millions of Indonesian people. Is the fact that palm oil is the only Indonesian non-oil commodities that occupy a strategic position in the constellation of world vegetable oil, considering that Indonesia is the largest producer of this commodity. Strategic, because since 2005 the oil palm has become the largest production of vegetable oil with (24%) shifts the soybean oil (23%) of the previous king of the world vegetable oil.

According to Oil World Annual 2009-2010 data, the ratio is 27.7% for palm oil and 22.4% for soybean oil, of a total of 168.8 million tons of vegetable oil. In fact, extensive palm gardens around the world only 13.1 million hectares, compared to 97.3 million acres of soybeans. This means that in one hectare of oil palm plantations, produced an average of 3.6 tons of oil, while a hectare of soybean plantations produce on average only 0.39 tons of oil. Land efficiency is possible because of palm oil is a fruit tree crops throughout the year, compared to soybeans, which is a seasonal crop.

Some countries which producing oil like the U.S. soybean oil (38%), Brazil (37%), and Argentina (15%), cautious start brunt of palm oil in world markets. Competition with other vegetable oils can not be avoided and currently appears negative campaign against palm oil. A number of the international community and local campaigns touting that palm oil as a destroyer of the environment, while some developed countries of palm oil consumers, tightening regulation of corporate palm oil production.

The rules are made and to comply with all palm oil producers, both Indonesia and other countries, so that the palm oil products accepted in the international market. Among them is the Round table on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a world institution that issued guidelines to all lines of production and distribution of world palm oil.

The institution was founded in 2004 is a guide pour palm oil production procedures that are considered sustainable, in principle and criteria of RSPO. Institutions headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland have a secretariat in Kuala Lumpur and an office in Jakarta.

As evidence of the commitment of Indonesia also produce sustainable palm oil, palm oil 72 national industries from upstream to downstream, is registered as a member of the RSPO. In addition to the RSPO, oil industry production parameters were also given by European countries through EU directives. Do not stop at international regulations, the palm oil industry explores homeland ISPO (Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil) to produce sustainable palm oil.

Settling in here also include the ‘rules’ that must be supported and adhered to the government, companies, and oil palm farmers.

The most important point is the identification of potential land suitable for development. Here, the aspect of legal certainty needs to be correct by the government in order to provide certainty for companies trying to palm oil. Spatial planning is also reinforced and clarified to minimize land conflicts, whether related to land ownership, as well as efforts to maintain areas with high conservation value (HCVF), thus in line with sustainable business principles based on the RSPO and ISPO. Oil palm plantation area with old age (approaching 25 years old) in Indonesia is currently getting bigger. Therefore, replanting is necessary.

Palm community must be able and ready for rejuvenation, especially farmers, who in 3-4 years will not receive earnings from palm oil. Preparatory efforts started from the development of alternative income, to ease the credit manage to overthrow the plantation and replanting of oil palm estates.

With all of the latest and greatest concepts, seminars, web casts, and “How-To” books vying for your attention, you would think that growing your business was as complicated as building the space shuttle. The fact is, there are only three ways to expand business.

1. Increase the number of customers

You increase the number of customers you have by reaching new customers 1) with your existing offering or 2) developing a new offering. Ideally you will leverage the offering you have to enter a new market or expand the reach in your exisiting market. Three key questions to answer to increase the number of customers are:

• Who has a real need for the product/service I’m selling? Does my product meet that need in a manner that either saves money or provides additional value?
• How much, if anything, are they spending to address that need today?
• How many of those potential customers are there? How do I reach them?

Answering these questions meaningfully necessitates market research. Market research is a prelude to selling. It teaches you a great deal about what you will need to know to effectively reach these new customers such as what to say, how to say it and to whom.

For example, our company just completed a national market research study that provided our client with the issues and challenges facing its target market. Using the research, which provided a keen understanding of the needs and wants of its customers, our client developed messaging and marketing materials that resonated not only with existing customers, but with new customers as well. Response rate to their lead-generating events have doubled.

2. Increase the frequency of purchase

The quickest path to increasing the frequency of purchases is by making it as easy as possible for your existing customers to do business with you repeatedly. Another way to look at this is providing additional customer value – and ultimately building customer loyalty. If you make it easier for customers to buy from you, relative to your competition, then you will continue to win their business. This, of course, assumes your products or services are comparable or superior to your competitors.

Outside of customer loyalty programs, here are a few areas to consider improving:

• Responsiveness to requests, calls, emails
• Accessibility to the customer’s primary contact
• Consistency in offering
• Follow-up and follow-through on meetings
• Accurate and timely billing.

While these may seem like common sense, consider how many vendors you no longer use because they were too difficult to do business with. Don’t become one of them to your customers.

3. Increase the number of units sold

By default you will increase the number of units sold when you increase the number of clients and frequency of purchase. But you can also increase the number of units sold by understanding how to add value. If you want to sell more products or bill more hours, providing a value-add benefit or solution will begin to strengthen your customer relationship. If you are to consistently add-value to the customer relationship, you need to fully understand how your customers interpret, define, and quantify the value they receive from your products and services.

Here is a consumer example: A restaurateur offered existing customers 20 percent off for parties of 4 during lunch and early dinner. The idea was to add value to his existing clients by providing them with a benefit they could share. Result: His lunch business went up by 88% in one month and by 53% over the campaign. On the frequency side, he experienced 71% retention of his customers when he dropped the campaign after 3 months.

Finally, don’t forget, to see real results, you must start with what you already know about your customers. It is the market research, customer knowledge you already have, that is literally a hidden goldmine of profit that can grow your business and increase your company’s top line. It is this customer-focused information that will provide the foundation for generating more sales, retaining and cross-selling customers, and acquiring new customer business. Armed with customer-focused information, you will know which the best way to grow your business is.
