This paper performs a bibliometric analysis to delineate the scientific landscape of palm oil supply chain and traceability research from 2000 to 2025 utilizing data from Scopus. VOSviewer and Biblioshiny were utilized for co-occurrence, co-authorship, and co-citation analysis to discern publication trends, theme clusters, and international collaborations. The findings indicate that research has progressed from focusing on production efficiency and biomass optimization to emphasizing sustainable governance, certification, and digital traceability systems. Malaysia and Indonesia are the primary suppliers, bolstered by robust partnerships with Europe and Australia. This study enhances comprehension of how interdisciplinary collaboration and technology innovation propel sustainability changes in global palm oil supply chains.
