  • How does Indonesia's palm oil supply chain work?
  • Corporate ownership and dominance of Indonesia’s palm oil supply chains INTRODUCTION The crude palm oil (CPO) and refined palm oil (RPO) supply chain involves a number of stages from planting through to harvesting fresh fruit bunches, which then are milled and in some cases refined before being sold on the domestic market or shipped worldwide.
  • What percentage of palm oil is produced in Indonesia?
  • Thus in the early 2000s, Indonesian palm products contributed 1.5%-2% of the country s gross domestic product (Biro Pusat Statistik, 2001), while national crude palm oil (CPO) output comprised over 30% of total palm oil production in the world as a whole. This paper is based on a study of Indonesian oil palm producers in 2002 (the Study)1.
  • Why is the oil palm industry booming in Malaysia and Indonesia?
  • The success of the oil palm industry in Malaysia and Indonesia owes greatly to the dedication of the planters and support and encouragement from both governments. Both governments have put in place initiatives to further spur growth and competitiveness in the industry.
  • Should Indonesia become the world's leading oil palm producer?
  • Given such help, the industry should renew its expansion and become the world s leading oil palm producer. Oil palm in Indonesia grew fast over the closing decades of the twentieth century, becoming a prime component of the Indo-nesian and global oils and fats scenes.
  • What are the prospects for Indo-Nesian oil palm?
  • Despite these changes and problems, the prospects for Indo-nesian oil palm and its competi-tiveness in world markets seem excellent. Given a resolution of current difficulties and improve-ments in performance, the industry appears likely to renew its expansion and emerge as the leading supplier of palm oil on world markets.
  • How much land is suitable for oil palm cultivation in Indonesia?
  • It has been estimated that potentially there are 32 million hectares (USDA, 2009) of land suitable for oil palm cultivation throughout Indonesia. Current areas of expansion are focused on Kalimantan, Sumatera, and Sulawesi.
