  • How much palm oil does Indonesia produce?
  • In 2016, Indonesia produced over 34.6 million metric tons (34,100,000 long tons; 38,100,000 short tons) of palm oil, and exported 25.1 million metric tons (24,700,000 long tons; 27,700,000 short tons) of it. Oil palm plantations stretch across at least 12 million hectares (30 million acres).
  • Is Indonesia a good place to buy palm oil?
  • As the largest producer in the world, Indonesia has great potential to market palm oil and palm kernel, both domestically and on the international market. Based on data presented by Statistics Indonesia (BPS), it was revealed that palm oil production in Indonesia will increase by 1.29% in 2022, reaching a total of 46.82 million tonnes.
  • Will Indonesia's palm oil supply match the rise in demand?
  • Kadin predicts that, given the current conditions, the growth in Indonesian palm oil supply has yet to match the rise in demand. They estimate that the national palm oil supply will only reach 66.2 million tons by 2035 and 89.9 million tons by 2050, which is lower than the demand levels.
  • How much Indonesian palm oil is needed in 2023?
  • According to Kadin, the total demand for Indonesian palm oil for both domestic consumption and exports reached 53 million tons in 2023. The demand for Indonesian palm oil is expected to continue increasing in the next two decades. However, the supply potential is likely to fall short.
  • Does land use affect palm oil production in Indonesia?
  • On the other hand, based on data presented by BPS, land use for Crude Palm Oil (CPO) production in Indonesia from 2018 to 2022 had increased significantly. Although the area of oil palm plantations has increased consistently, this growth is not in line with palm oil production during the same period.
  • Can the Indonesian palm oil agency improve the management of palm oil?
  • GAPKI's Deputy Chairman III, Satria B Wibawa, believes that the Indonesian Palm Oil Agency could be a solution to improve the management of the palm oil industry from upstream to downstream. Through this agency, it is hoped that the issue of production stagnation can be addressed.
