The nucleus-plasma oil palm plantation partnership policy program began in 1977 through the People's Nucleus Plantation (PIR) pattern. This study aims to see how the implementation of partnerships that exist between plasma farmers and companies and measure the level of satisfaction of plasma farmers as partners. The research was conducted in Musi Banyuasin Regency, Batanghari Leko District, with a sample of 60 oil palm smallholders who partnered with companies. The results of the study show that the partnership pattern carried out by plasma farmers and companies is a subcontract partnership, where there is an agreement that agricultural land will be divided into 60% plasma land and 40% nucleus land with a pattern without compensation for a minimum of 25 years of work contract. The level of satisfaction of farmers as a whole belongs to the satisfied criteria, which is equal to 79.62%, the lowest value is found in the 4th attribute, namely the price offered by the company which will have an influence on the income of plasma farmers. Plasma farmers are still dissatisfied with the price offered by the company because the production results from the plasma plantations do not match the targets set by the company that have been agreed upon.
