Sustainable palm oil governance in Indonesia becomes part of the work governance perspective. This type of research is a qualitative one, historical patterned with descriptive analysis. Data collection methods used are observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was performed by using the model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana consisting of four activities, namely combining data, condensing data, displaying data, and gathering conclusions and verification. There are many actors involved in the implementation of indonesian sustainable palm oil. Local people who agree with the law can accept or reject the development of oil palm on the land they claim.

This article argues that rather than being an automatic consequence of the rising importance of palm oil in Indonesia's economy, the inclusion of palm oil in Indonesia's set of national interest priorities in its international relations was a result of an intentional campaign run by palm oil companies. Taking the subjectivist assumption on national interest as the starting point and drawing on the narrative policy analysis literature, this study investigates the process of inclusion by unpacking the discursive framework that enables such a process to be successful. It finds that palm oil companies employed "objectification" to frame the growth of the palm oil industry as a shared interest of the public and "delegitimization" to frame opposing voices as the manifestations of foreign interests. Such discursive frameworks provided unambiguous and straightforward foreign policy direction, but at the same time prevented a more comprehensive understanding of the complex issue of palm oil.
