According to data, 40.49 % of palm oil productions are from small farm owners.

Productions (countable)

The plural form of production collocates strongly with film and theatre:

• Medieval theatre productions are still performed today.
• The earliest sound effects were strictly studio productions.
• These productions alternate between musicals and plays.

Production (uncountable)

Meanwhile, the uncountable form of production collocates with manufacturing:

• No gold production has been reported since 1951.
• The project was shelved before full production was achieved.
• Another factor affecting production was industry competition.

Conclusion

Our opening statement refers more to manufacturing than to theatre, and so we need:

• According to data, 40.49 % of palm oil production is from small farm owners.
