FFB Prices for Independent Smallholders
The South Sumatra FFB Price Determination Team also set prices for independent smallholders. Unlike partner smallholders, independent FFB prices are calculated based on the composition of tenera and dura fruit.
The first-half September 2026 prices are as follows:
| Fruit Composition | FFB Price |
| Tenera 100% – Dura 0% | IDR 3,493.59/kg |
| Tenera 90% – Dura 10% | IDR 3,472.08/kg |
| Tenera 80% – Dura 20% | IDR 3,449.40/kg |
| Tenera 70% – Dura 30% | IDR 3,427.89/kg |
| Tenera 60% – Dura 40% | IDR 3,406.63/kg |
| Tenera 50% – Dura 50% | IDR 3,385.12/kg |
| Tenera 40% – Dura 60% | IDR 3,362.44/kg |
The highest FFB price for independent smallholders was IDR 3,493.59 per kg, applicable to fruit with a 100% tenera and 0% dura composition.
The lowest price was IDR 3,362.44 per kg, for a composition of 40% tenera and 60% dura.
The price differences reflect the impact of fruit composition on the value received by independent smallholders. A higher proportion of tenera results in a higher FFB price under the provincial pricing formula.
