Indonesia third-largest palm oil importer in China

`(China) quite a lot (absorb palm from Indonesia). If I'm not mistaken, they are the number three (importer). After India, the European Union, and then China,` Oke said to detikFinance, Monday yesterday (05/21/2018).According to him, China's need for palm is still very large.

`(China's need) is still very large, we even hope that China will follow our policy to use biodiesel,` he explained.
He said that if China utilizes fuel mixed with biodiesel more in the country, they will absorb even more palm oil, one of which they import from Indonesia.`If we already have B20 (fuel mixed with 20% biodiesel), in China whether B5 or B what has been started, so the biodiesel can be used to absorb more palm,` he explained.However, from China's plan to increase palm absorption from Indonesia, it is possible there is a reciprocation. But Oke assesses, if there is, it is as a normal bilateral relationship between the two countries.`If there is a reciprocation, it is normal. It is a bilateral relationship. Yes, that will only be a trade relationship,` he added.
It should be noted that China agreed to increase imports of 500,000 tons of Indonesian palm after a meeting between President Jokowi and Chinese PM Li Keqiang, Monday (05/07/2018).`Specifically, PM Li Keqiang agreed to the form of increasing our exports, an additional minimum of 500 thousand tons of palm oil to China,` said Jokowi.
