Oil palm planted area is the extent of productive industrial oil palm. It was calculated using data provided by The TreeMap (Gaveau et al., 2022; The TreeMap, 2026) , who mapped the year in which oil palm is first planted in a given location. Oil palms were assumed to start producing fresh fruit bunches (FFB) in the third year after planting and continue to produce for up to 30 years. Based on these assumptions,the productive oil palm planted area assigned is the total area planted three years before the target year. For example, the productive oil palm planted area in 2018 is represented by the total area mapped as oil palm plantation in 2015 by The TreeMap (The TreeMap, 2026).
