Indonesia's palm oil industry is the largest in the world by production volume. The industry is concentrated in Sumatra (Riau, North Sumatra, South Sumatra, Jambi) and Kalimantan (West, Central, East Kalimantan), with smaller production in Sulawesi and Papua. The industry is overseen by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Trade, with the BPDPKS (Badan Pengelola Dana Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit — the Indonesian Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Agency) managing the CPO export levy system that funds biodiesel subsidies and smallholder support.

Export structure: Indonesia applies a progressive export levy and export tax on CPO and derivative products. The levy rate varies with CPO price (typically USD 33–175/tonne for CPO, with lower rates for more processed products like RBD olein). This structure has deliberately incentivised domestic refining and the export of refined grades rather than CPO. As a result, the majority of Indonesian palm oil exports are now in the form of RBD palm olein, RBD palm stearin, and PFAD rather than crude. Additionally, Indonesia's B35 biodiesel mandate (mandatory blending of 35% palm-derived biodiesel into diesel fuel) absorbs approximately 10–13 million tonnes of CPO equivalent per year domestically, reducing available export volumes.

ISPO (Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil) is the Indonesian government-mandated certification scheme, legally required for all large plantation companies and mills. ISPO covers environmental, social, legal, and traceability requirements. For EU market access, many Indonesian suppliers also pursue RSPO certification (Mass Balance, Segregated, or Identity Preserved) since ISPO alone is generally not accepted by major European retailers and food manufacturers without RSPO accompaniment. As of 2024, ISPO and RSPO have completed a joint gap analysis and there are ongoing discussions about mutual recognition — buyers should confirm current status with their supplier.

Major Indonesian palm oil companies include: Wilmar International (largest global palm oil trader, significant Indonesian plantation and refinery base); Golden Agri-Resources/Sinar Mas Agri (one of the largest Indonesian palm plantation groups); Musim Mas Group (major Indonesian refiner and trader, RSPO-certified); Apical Group (part of Royal Golden Eagle/RGE, major exporter from Dumai); Permata Group; and Austindo Nusantara Jaya (ANJ).

Key Indonesian export ports: Dumai (Riau, Sumatra) — Indonesia's largest dedicated palm oil export terminal, accounting for a major share of refined palm oil exports; Belawan (Medan, North Sumatra) — serving North Sumatra production areas; Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) — main container port, handles packaged palm oil; Kumai (Central Kalimantan) — serving Kalimantan production. CPO from estate mills is typically transported by river barge to coastal terminals, then loaded to vessels.

For EU/UK buyers: Indonesia is the primary EUDR concern country for palm oil. EUDR requires geolocation data at the plot/parcel level for all palm oil placed on the EU market after the compliance deadline. Indonesian suppliers need to provide plantation parcel coordinates, due diligence statements, and chain-of-custody documentation. Work with your Indonesian supplier well in advance to ensure EUDR-ready traceability documentation — this is a significant operational requirement.
