The Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI) predicts a 5% increase in palm oil production in the country this year, with stocks expected to reach around 3.2 million tonnes by the end of the year. GAPKI also estimates that by 2023, crude palm oil production will reach 49 million tonnes and plans to produce 4.7 million tonnes of palm kernel oil. Production is continuing despite the expected delay in this year's harvest caused by the El Niño weather phenomenon. Indonesia currently holds 3.13 million tonnes of palm oil reserves.
