An estimated 10 million hectares of Indonesia is devoted to palm oil production, largely in Sumatra and Kalimantan.

Palm oil operations offer significant commercial potential because the land is already purchased and in use for palm oil production. Cattle breeding under palm can provide owners with an additional income stream, and may reduce production costs and increase productivity.

IACCB is testing these propositions in four locations:

The selection of 4 projects with quite different operating environments is allowing IACCB to identify the key challenges and solutions to commercial sustainability within the Integrated Oil Palm and Cattle Production model.
