management. The impact of the development will build more employment opportunities with
good basic services, growth of various types of growth of various types of industry, housing,
school facilities and other basic facilities. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify the
challenges to improve the well-being of smallholder’s palm oil communities in Malaysia.
Discussions on the challenges to palm oil smallholders focus on land shortages, lack of access
to credit and loans, lack of improved planting materials, lack of training and skills, lack of
processing facilities, high fertilizer prices, technological expertise and soil fertility challenges.
