As global demand for palm oil keeps on expanding, tropical forests crosswise over Southeast Asia, and progressively Africa and Latin America, are at danger for transformation into vast scale palm oil plantations.
In traditional plantation agriculture, a single crop is grown over a large area planted in neat rows with well-developed network of transportation and communication, connecting plantation areas, processing industries and markets together, which exists in palm oil agriculture. Heavy dependence on labor is there in plantation agriculture, which is true in case of palm oil production, though currently, efforts have been taken to revolutionize it with machinery and reduce dependence on labor.

The south east countries producing palm oil have increasing possibilities for investment, in palm oil. These countries keep o increasing the investment, and thus they have the chances of more development and high returns thus increasing the standards of living of their economy to a higher level. The socio-economic benefit is also large, many indigenous people get benefitted through palm production. Global demand forecast it will; double by 2020, which southeast countries are the major producers now.
The detrimental aspect which is major due to this production is that, vast majority of tropical forest is destroyed for creating land for palm production. Huge hectares of forest were deforested to make space for palm cultivation. Deforestation is major issue, and the indigenous people are affected by this process. When estates are acquisitioned for farming purpose, the locale of natives are
