Synchronization of Sustainable Palm Oil Management Regulations in Indonesia After the Enactment of the Omnibus Law

Abstract

Synchronization of regulation is significant to guarantee a sustainable palm oil management system. It can also be a solution to overcome the law problems, which inhibits Indonesia's business competition climate in sustainable oil management. This research is categorized as a combination of empirical and normative research that reveals palm oil management's layout in normative and practical contexts. In terms of the empirical context, it is pivotal to see the Government's perspective, employers (company), and the owner's land community. This research also uses the statute approach and conceptual approach. Those data are analyzed qualitatively. The study results show that synchronization between the Omnibus Law and Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil can implement the Principles and Criteria. The Omnibus Law does not synchronize to those principles of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The Omnibus Law also have not been synchronized to the Law on Ratification of the Paris Agreement, Low Carbon Development of National Development Planning Agency, Palm Oil Moratorium, and other related regulation on palm oil. One of the   Omnibus Law policies is to open opportunities to create mass deforestation, which leaves behind Indonesian high ambitions.  It proclaims to lower the emissions of greenhouse gases by 29% in the year 2030 with Business as Usual and 41% with the cooperation of international with baseline emissions in the year 2010 through the initiative of the policy of low carbon development.
