This article sheds light on the problems in achieving one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) regarding reducing inequalities within Indonesia’s oil palm zones. The main argument of this article is that, despite concerns over the sustainability of Indonesia’s palm oil being addressed by the government through presenting statistical data regarding poverty and inequality reduction in oil palm zones, the existing literature has revealed contradictory realities between ground conditions and the statistical data as well as the government’s narrative. Scholars have revealed structural marginalisation and inequalities within the zones. Contributing to the existing literature, this viewpoint argues that there are three forms of problems: the presence of inequalities prior to the project, in the early stage of the project, and after the project, along with the ensuing social consequences, as instanced by one oil palm zone in Sumatra Island, Indonesia
