Palm Oil Industry, Promising In The Middle of Crush

Secretly, the export value palm oil is quite high. Last year, the export value that penetrate the level of 21.3 billion dollars the united states, regional economic sluggishness during his world much going on. In the world, Indonesia ' s position as the country an exporter of cpo enough well-respected.

In a word, prospects of industrial oil palm plantations in Indonesia is still promising. Is that so ? Consider the statement of the Executive Director of the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (Gapki), M Fadhil Hasan.

“ Every year comparative advantage cpo continues to grow, “ He said, at the workshop about the building of palm oil industry sustainable, in bogor, some time ago.

Like a businessman, he spoke using data. Gapki record, since the 2000-2008 CPO competitiveness increasing numbers, from 24.1 becomes  41.05. Tin mining in the second position, Who also increases from 13,45 to 37,55 which means increase more than two times.

Although high CPO comparative competitiveness in the international market, does not automatically make it swing freely vegetable commodities dominate the world market of vegetable oils. One of them international competition with other vegetable oils, including soybean oil and sunflower oil.

In the country, there is no other story that must be completed, named regulations and policies related to palm oil applied by the government.

 About export palm oil, the government sets its own export tax policy, more familiarly known as the export duty.

Gapki assess these policies counterproductive to efforts to increase exports of that commodity. Besides judged to be consistent, he stated, "we reject Substantively export duty, because the goals are to one another the opposite."

From the government, there is a reason assign export duty, chant started from the stabilization of oil prices, environmental rehabilitation, downstream instrument for the development of CPO derivative products in the country, and state income instruments.

He compared it with a policy instrument that occurred in Malaysia, Indonesia's nearest competitor. "With BK enacted, CPO export volume is lower when compared with no BK," he said.

Never mind on domestic export duty imposed, In recipient countries alias the purpose of exports, CPO also the subject of import tax and derivatives ; products to protect their vegetable oil. "There are also technical barriers in some countries of export destination," he said.

He cited several importing countries led Western European countries and the United States are implementing technical standards related to environmental issues, including emissions and carbon sequestration, as well as the development of sustainable palm oil.

Another challenge, some countries also apply labels to products that use palm oil, including the food; health-related aspects. "France and Australia are two countries that apply the product labeling for palm oil," he said.

Suspected palm oil-based products are not healthier than other vegetable oils. Gapki suspect, discourse was part of a trade war and competition to reduce the rate of palm oil, whose production is more efficient than other vegetable oils.

Chairman of the Board of Industry and Cultivating palm oil Indonesia, Daud Darsono, say, in 2012 palm oil has dominated the world market of vegetable oils. Data of Oil World, Total world consumption of vegetable oil reached 150 million tons and approximately 34 percent of palm oil supplied.

Whatever the challenge, industrial commodity crop originates from the island of Madagascar, East Africa continues to grow in Indonesia. The indicator is expressed Gakpi palm oil plantation ownership by the people. 
Right now, people have mastered 42 percent palm oil plantations covering 3.3 million hectares. Approximately 80 percent of the people's plantations financed their own, without the help of government capital.
