Does it really? Palm trees are not exactly grown by small scale artisan farmers.

No, but many workers get paid meager (but slightly livable for their area) wages we would likely see as/refer to as modern "slave labor"

Is it a pretty thing? Not even slightly. However, this lets them/their family survive. Take it away, native workers will die/turn to even shittier methods of survival.

According to [1], small farmers represent 40% of Indonesia's palm oil industry.

I think the EU was set to ban the use of palm oil for use in biofuels this year. Also, biofuel is/was "only" 50% of the EU's total palm oil consumption. And for other coutries, it's a lot less.
