Kelapa sawit (elaeis guineensis jacq.) merupakan komoditas perkebunan utama di indonesia yang menghasilkan crude palm oil (cpo). kualitas minyak sawit dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, terutama umur tanaman dan varietas. penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh umur tanaman, varietas kelapa sawit, serta interaksi keduanya terhadap kuantitas dan kualitas minyak sawit. penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok (rak) faktorial dengan dua faktor, yaitu umur tanaman (5–10 tahun, 10–15 tahun, dan >15 tahun) serta varietas (dura dan tenera), dengan tiga ulangan sehingga diperoleh 18 satuan percobaan. data dianalisis menggunakan anova, uji duncan's multiple range test (dmrt), dan metode simple additive weighting (saw). hasil penelitian menunjukkan rendemen minyak berkisar 15,08–25,33%, kadar air 0,15–0,20%, dan ffa 1,22–1,37%. varietas, umur tanaman, dan interaksinya berpengaruh sangat nyata (p

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the leading plantation commodities in Indonesia and the primary source of Crude Palm Oil (CPO). The quality of palm oil is influenced by several factors, particularly plant age and variety. This study aimed to analyze the effects of plant age, oil palm variety, and their interaction on the quantity and quality of palm oil. The experiment employed a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two factors: plant age (5–10 years, 10–15 years, and >15 years) and variety (Dura and Tenera), with three replications, resulting in 18 experimental units. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT), and the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. The results showed that oil extraction rate ranged from 15.08% to 25.33%, moisture content from 0.15% to 0.20%, and free fatty acid (FFA) content from 1.22% to 1.37%. Variety, plant age, and their interaction had a highly significant effect (P
