This study aims to analyze the challenges of supervision in the price management of oil palm Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) and formulate a protection strategy for independent smallholders in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that FFB price governance still faces various obstacles, including low transparency of price information, weak supervision of price implementation, information asymmetry, long marketing chain, and low bargaining position of farmers. The protection strategies formulated include strengthening farmer institutions, transparency of price information, participatory supervision, fair partnerships, and improving farmers' bargaining positions. The strategy is expected to be able to realize price stability and improve the welfare of independent smallholders in a sustainable manner.
