This bibliometric analysis of publications on Arenga pinnata Merr aims to evaluate research trends, institutional contributions, and themes. About 755 publications were examined using Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) database datasets. A systematic approach was used to analyse datasets using VOSviewer and ScientoPy tools. The publication trends showed an exponential increase starting in 2010. This input subtly portrayed the growing knowledge of the industrial, financial, and environmental uses of Arenga pinnata. The leading institution is Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), whereas Indonesia and Malaysia predominate in research output, reflecting substantial policy backing and academic interest. Additionally, the study exposed important themes related to agroforestry, sustainable agriculture, biotechnology, bio-based materials, and functional food uses. This study revealed Arenga pinnata planting difficulties, which include inadequate agronomic research, labour-intensive processing, and limited market accessibility despite significant developments. The results underline important research gaps and the necessity of investigating more industrial uses, supply chain optimisation, and technology improvements to improve commercial viability. Promoting sustainable growth and the economic potential of Arenga pinnata in worldwide agricultural and environmental settings, this study offers insightful analysis for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders.
