Palm oil producers ready to export 8 million tons of CPO to Europe

Palm oil producers ready to export 8 million tons of CPO to Europe. The Secretary-General of GAPKI (Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association), Togar Sitanggang, stated that although the average European demand for palm oil stands at 6 million tons up to the year 2020, he is optimistic that Indonesia would be able to supply 8 million tons if demanded by Europe. “And we are ready to supply not only 6 million tons, but 8 million tons of sustainable palm oil to the European market,” Togar said on Monday (25/9).

At this point, said Togar, the European Union is the second largest market for palm oil after India. Based on data from GAPKI in 2016, palm oil sales to the European Union reached 6.6 million tons. The largest palm oil market in the world is India, at 10.25 million tons. Meanwhile, China ranks third at 5.15 million tons.

Apkasindo Conducts Positive Palm Oil Campaign in France
 
JAKARTA, SAWIT INDONESIA – The Indonesian Oil Palm Farmers Association (APKASINDO) reported three important indicators for palm oil’s contributions to Indonesia. These three indicators include economic growth, rural development, and poverty reduction.
 
This information was conveyed by APKASINDO’s Deputy Secretary-General, Rino Afrino, to participants in the Palm Oil Sustainability Talk Forum at the Paris Pavillon Dauphine in France on Saturday (23/09/2017).
 
Rino explained that it is undeniable that palm oil has a large impact on Indonesian society, especially palm oil farmers. Indonesia’s advantages are its tropical climate and high levels of rainfall. This is proven by the sharp increase in Indonesia’s palm oil production, from just 720 thousand tons of CPO in the 1980s to 32 million tons in 2016.
