GAPKI asks expanded oil palm oil plantations to meet B50-B100 mandate by 2045

Tridge summary

The Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI) is advocating for the extension of oil palm plantations to meet the country's biofuel mandate, which requires a 50:50 mix of fuel oil and biofuel by 2045 (B50, potentially increasing to B100). Currently, palm oil production in Indonesia has reached a plateau at 50 million tons annually, and increasing production to B50 requires expanding agricultural areas into previously unused ones (extensification). GAPKI's Head of the Positive Campaign Division, Edi Suhardi, pointed out that palm oil exports have already been disrupted due to the B40 mandate and that increasing production through existing methods like improving plant productivity would be a lengthy process. Therefore, land extension is crucial to achieve the B100 target by 2045, requiring palm oil production to double.

The Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI) says that Indonesia needs to have extended oil palm plantations to meet the needs of the mandatory program of mixing fuel oil (BBM) and biofuel (BBN) by 50 percent or B50 up to B100. Extensification of oil palm plantations is the expansion of agricultural areas into previously unused areas to increase production from the resulting products. Edi Suhardi, Head of GAPKI’s Positive Campaign Division, said that palm oil exports have begun to be disrupted when they have to fulfill the B40 mandate or obligation. Therefore, palm oil supply will not be sufficient if it has to fulfill the supply for B50. “Palm oil production in Indonesia has stagnated at around 50 million tons per year. If it is increased to B50, it can only be done through extensification,” Edi said in a discussion in Jakarta on Wednesday, February 5, 2025. Edi said that increasing palm oil supply would take a long time if it was only done by increasing plant productivity or ...
