equitably and evenly, since high economy growth could only had a chance to
benefits certain society, like urbanite, while the society living at the rural areas
did not have equal portion and is left behind. To minimize the imbalance, oil palm
plantation is being developed and expected as a main exported commodity in
Riau province in an effort to reach a high income toward economy level for the
rural society. This research wants to know the influence of the export of CPO
(Crude Palm Oil) and its influence toward the regional economy growth. The
secondary data is analyzed by using OLS model. The result of this research
showed that the export of CPO gives significant influence toward the growth of
economy in Riau Province.
