They were characterized in terms of social, economic, environmental and technology aspects.

For growers, the problems they faced included loss of income, lack of knowledge on business operation, cultivation and prices of palm oil, palm oil production and competition. Therefore, there should be provisions of knowledge and appropriate techniques in oil palm management including selection of oil palm saplings and planning sites for cultivation, collaboration between groups of growers to build up their knowledge and increase their bargaining power. For the oil palm industry, there are problems related to unreadiness of location and equipment of purchasing points and factories and an environmental impact.
