Member countries of the Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC), including Indonesia and Malaysia, are committed to supporting the sustainability of the global palm oil industry.
Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga, stated that Indonesia and Malaysia have agreed to strengthen their collaboration over the next year. This initiative is a form of synergy between nations to address the challenges faced by the palm oil industry.
"We value the partnership and collaboration established with palm oil-producing countries," Airlangga said during a press conference at the 12th Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC) Ministerial Meeting in Jakarta on Friday, November 29.
He emphasized that Indonesia’s commitment to the palm oil sector aligns with President Prabowo Subianto’s programs, particularly regarding food security, self-sufficiency in food and energy, and the downstream development of plantation industries, including palm oil.
At the same event, Malaysia's Minister of Plantation and Commodities, Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, highlighted Indonesia's status as the second-largest palm oil producer. Together with Malaysia, the two countries contribute more than 70% of the world's palm oil supply. "I believe the contributions managed by these two countries are critical for the world," he said.
Johari underscored the importance of collaboration between Malaysia and Indonesia, as the two nations represent the global voice in ensuring standardized practices for palm oil products.
"We must unite our voices to ensure that palm oil standards are globally recognized. It is essential for us to work together in addressing these issues, whether in terms of empowerment or compliance with global regulations," Johari explained.
