The palm oil industry is one of the most important sources of revenue for Indonesia and Malaysia, but there are still many challenges that must be faced by the palm oil plantation management, one of which is to maintain production sustainability. The problem of palm oil plantations related to land resources requires effective and efficient technology inputs. Remote sensing technology is one of the inputs that can be used as one of the decision support system (DSS) to decide the problem spatially quickly, accurately and dynamically. However, remote sensing is still rarely applied in Indonesia’s palm oil plantations. It is because of tropical climate conditions that tend to be covered with clouds that can inhibit the performance of remote sensing technology. Based on existing journal review utilization of remote sensing technology in palm oil plantation has been done in 1999 until now (2017). Remote sensing technology will produce a data in the form of description of palm oil conditions in the field which the data must be processed and re-analyzed using a customized method of management needs. The results revealed that remote sensing has significant potential to assist in monitoring palm oil and predicting the potential of palm oil plantations. Remote sensing technology was able to provide output in the form of land mapping, tree volume estimation, palm fruit classification, palm oil growth, estimated age of plant, biomass estimates, palm oil productivity estimates, health detection and accurate mapping of palm oil diseases using the right method.
