The Indonesian government is being urged by India, Pakistan, and China to ease export regulations for Indonesian palm oil due to high demand in these countries. India is the largest destination for Indonesian palm oil exports and hopes for easier export processes to meet the increasing consumption of vegetable oil. Pakistan also relies on palm oil imports from Indonesia to meet their vegetable oil needs, especially since they recently banned genetically modified food products, limiting their supply. Although China's population decline may lead to a decrease in demand for cooking oil, there is still a potential for high demand in the next few years.
