Sustainability of the programme results is built into the character of the commercial partnership between the private sector company and smallholder producers. The private sector partner(s) has a vested interest not only in ensuring that smallholder production is sustained to achieve full utilisation of milling capacity, but also that it is profitable for those smallholder growers. For smallholder oil palm growers, the private sector partner offers them a secured and reliable market for their production, and a regular monthly income; and it is thus fully in their interests to continue producing oil palm and selling it to the CPO mill. In this context, the role of Government will be to facilitate the maintenance of existing commercial relationships between producers and private sector partners, and to stimulate the further growth of the oil palm sector, in a way that is inclusive and sustainable. This it will achieve through an enabling policy and institutional framework that encourages responsible investment at all levels; and by providing the sector with public goods and services to reduce the transaction costs to investors.
