The Oil palm fund collected by BNI since BPDPKS was established in July 2015 up to the end of December 2015 has reached Rp 1.2 trillion.
The support by BNI towards the management of oil palm plantations is also shown by its support at the National Indonesian Oil palm Meeting 2016 that was held by BPDPKS in Dhamapala Building, Jakarta, Wednesday (27/1/2016).
The Corporate Secretary of BNI, Suhardi Petrus said that the exportors of oil palm commodities and their derivative products are quite enthusiastic in depositing the Oil palm Fund through BNI because they are encouraged by the various services prepared by BNI.
The services provided by BNI include turning the manual payment process into digital or making it electronic using BNI e-payment mechanism that is integrated in real time with BPDPKS system.
Through BNI e-payment mechanism, the exportors will find it easier to pay the Oil palm Fund in more than 1,800 BNI branch offices throughout Indonesia. The exportors will also find it easier to pay through BNI Direct.
“In addition to that, the electronic payment process will also help the exportors in making a transaction faster and more accurate. BNI also provides special services such as free consultation by Trade Finance Officer that are spread throughout Indonesia offering solutions regarding export transaction," said Suhardi in his official statement, Wednesday (27/1/2016).
Furthermore, the export document delivery conducted at BNI is centralized through the Export Bill Collection Services (EBCS) that collaborates with world class courier services.
The Oil palm Fund management is a part of Sustainable Oil Palm Development Program, which is the result of Presidential Decree No. 61 Year 2015 regarding the Collection and Utilization of the Oil Palm Plantation Fund.
In addition to the sustainable oil palm development, this Presidential Decree is an important milestone in accelerating the use of Biofuel (BBN) for biodiesel, which is also a form of the government's commitment in reducing greenhouse gas emission.
The Oil palm Fund can be used to rejuvenate people's oil palm plantation, research and development on oil palm, oil palm promotion, the facilities and infrastructures of oil palm plantations, and human resources development of oil palm plantations.
The Oil palm Fund generally comes from the Export Levy on Oil Palm Products that is set in US Dollar but is deposited in Rupiah to the managing bank, in which BNI is one of them.
