Design/methodology/approach This study used a simultaneous equations system for arranging the oil palm household economic model. Findings The results showed that the negative effect of demand disruption (decreasing of household income) is more than supply disruption (production declining). Declining household income due to COVID-19 caused farmer households to have no access to both basic need and other goods. Research limitations/implications The samples for before-pandemic data differed from the situation during COVID-19 in both the location and the person due to technical constraints in research sites. Originality/value The main contribution of this study was providing an empirical understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic influences the economic behavior of the most vulnerable entities in the Indonesian palm oil industry (oil palm smallholder farmers' households). This study would provide baseline information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy of oil palm smallholder's household income. 收起
