Kampar regency is assumed to have a palm tree land as big as 14 thousand ha with more than 25-years-old plants. The no longer productive age of those plants should have gone through the rejuvenation process or known as replanting oil-palm potential (ROPP). In order to simplify ROPP inventory, research can be done using remote sensing technology and field verification to determine the oil palm age. The research result shows 647, 290 ha oil palm field and 426, 982 ha non-oil palm field. Besides that, it is known the width of private companies-owned oil palm field is 97, 653 ha, and smallholder farmers-owned field with plant age 25 years (SW3 = 482, 770 ha). The potential smallholder farmers-owned width of oil palm replanting (ROPP) at Kampar regency is at around 7.05 thousand hectares.
