Abstract: A reference framework for the evaluation of potentially suitable cropping areas is introduced. Such purpose is attained through the assessment of an ample series of productivity-and-sustainability-related criteria, which are typically applicable to perennial crops. This novel conceptual development is applied to a case study addressing the aptness of Colombian oil palm lands, with the aid of stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis ordinal (SMAA-O) as a decision support system. Based on a holistic set of 155 criteria embedded in nine categories that are applicable to any area unit, the framework in question integrates agribusiness, productivity and sustainability.
