An investigation was carried out with the objective of evaluating the sustainability of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) farms in the Shanusi river valley, Loreto region. The investigation was conducted with the producers association Jardines de Palma S.A. (JARPAL), which has a population of 214 producers and the sample surveyed was 68 producers. The information was obtained from various sources through field visits, direct measurements and interviews. In the surveys, 28 original variables (18 quantitative and 10 qualitative), were considered taking into account critical points that may affect the sustainability of the crop. Farms were characterized and typified and groups were formed considering sustainability, taking into account the MESMIS methodological framework with socioeconomic and environmental indicators. It was found that the farms can be grouped into three significantly differentiated types. Group I (28 percent), with an average area of 4.8 ha, a monthly net income of 555 soles, 40 percent of vegetation coverage, access to more than one loan and does not use family labor. Group II (29 percent) brought together farms with an average cultivated area of 11 ha, net monthly income of 2 400 soles, depend 80 percent on external inputs for production, access to more than two credits and 70 percent have a house of noble material. In group III (43 percent), the farms have a cultivated area of 8.13 ha, more than two crops, a greater number of marketing channels, monthly net income of 1 600 soles, 19 percent of the area is located in conservation areas and 66 percent have a house with wooden infrastructure. The results suggest that it is necessary to make improvements in the attributes of stability, resilience and reliability results of the groups formed, mainly in the aspects of biological diversity and soil quality, in order to seek sustainability of the farms. It was concluded that if improvement projects are implemented in the future, they should be specific for each group that has been qualified and typified in the Shanusi river valley.
