Purpose. This study aims to analyze the linkages and impacts of the plantation-based sector on the economy and poverty. Methodology / approach. The method used in this study is the Miyazawa Input Output (I-O) analysis.

Another result is the addition of final requests, impact on output, value added, labor and income in the plantation-based sectors and other economic sectors and income of poor households. The downstream policy of the rubber industry, oil palm replanting and down streaming of the oil palm industry can be done because it has a similar impact on output and additional income for poor households is higher than replanting rubber Originality / scientific novelty.
