Jakarta Globe (04/12/2025) - Jakarta. Indonesia’s domestic and export demand for crude palm oil (CPO) surged in 2025, boosting sales and export revenue for the country’s palm oil industry, according to data from the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (Gapki).

Gapki reported that domestic CPO consumption reached 18,460 tons between January and September 2025, up 5.1 percent from 17,550 tons during the same period in 2024.

The biodiesel sector remained the largest domestic consumer, accounting for 9,414 tons, or roughly 51 percent of total local consumption. Food applications absorbed 7,372 tons (40 percent), while oleochemical products accounted for 1,674 tons (9 percent).

Bumi Makmur Anugerahagung (BMA), a major national palm oil producer, said the domestic market surge has fueled optimism for a substantial increase in sales.

“Based on first-half 2025 sales results, BMA expects sales volume to double this year compared with 2024,” Director Cheny Canliarta said Thursday in Jakarta.
