Executive Summary: 

Post predicts an increase in palm oil production from 23.6 mmt in MY 2010/2011 to 25.4 mmt in 

MY 2011/2012 thanks to larger harvesting area at 6.35 million hectares and yield improvement 

at 4.0 mt per hectare.

Palm kernel, palm kernel oil, and palm kernel meal, in parallel with an increase in palm oil 

production, are predicted to register an increase in production to 6.8 mmt, 2.96 mmt, and 3.54 

mmt respectively in MY 2011/2012.

Whether Indonesia’s soybean production will increase in MY 2010/2011 remains ambiguous due 

to weather uncertainty. Post predicts soybean production level at 720,000 metric ton (mt) in MY 

2011/2012.

Post estimates an increase in importation of soybean meal to 2.7 mmt in MY 2011/2012 thanks 

to six percent growth in animal feed production. 

Indonesia fresh coconut production has been on the downtrend due to smaller harvesting area 

and declining yields. Consequently, production of copra and copra’s derivative products crude 

coconut oil and copra meal - is predicted to decline in the next two marketing years.

Indonesia imported 195,000 mt of peanuts in MY 2009/2010. Reduced production is expected to 

lead to an import level of 292,000 mt in MY 2010/2011. Imports will slightly drop to 250,000 

mt in MY 2011/2012 thanks to a projected production recovery. 

Commodities:

Production:

Indonesia’s palm oil production will continue to grow to 25.4 mmt in MY 2011/2012. This growth will 

be primarily driven by increased harvested areas and higher yields. Between the years of 2000 – 2010, 

the harvested area for oil palm growth fluctuated between 200,000 to 500,000 hectares, with average 

growth being roughly 340,000 hectares. Post estimates that the harvested area will increase by an 

additional 250,000 hectares in MY 2011/2012, reaching a total 6.35 million hectares. Production yields 

are expected to increase to 4.0 mt per hectare, as more harvested area begins to enter peak production. 

Moreover, higher palm oil prices will provide increased economic incentives for increased use of 

fertilizer and better crop management.

Consumption:

Palm oil for domestic consumption is dominated by the Indonesian food processing industry. Food uses 

of palm oil have averaged annual growth rates of nearly four percent since 2003. The use of palm oil by 

the domestic food industry is predicted to increase to approximately 4.6 mmt in MY 2011/2012.

Post predicts that the palm oil as biofuel feedstock will not likely experience progressive growth during 

the next two years. Limited government subsidies available to biofuel producers, competition with 

subsidized fossil fuels and uncompetitive biofuel purchasing prices by PERTAMINA (Indonesia’s state 

Oil, Palm
owned oil company) prohibits the establishment of a transparent and competitive Indonesian biofuels 

market.

Currently the Government of Indonesia (GOI) is developing downstream palm oil industrial processing 

clusters, primarily for oleochemical production. Progress toward realizing this plan has been slow. As 

a result, domestic palm oil use by oleochemical industries will experience only moderate growth. Post 

estimates an increase in industrial use of palm oil by biofuel and oleochemical industry to 1.25 mmt in 

MY 2011/2012.

Feed production is expected to increase by six percent to 11 mmt in MY 2011/2012. The feed industry 

will procure 185,000 mt of palm oil during the same marketing year.

Trade:

Post predicts that the majority of Indonesian palm oil will be exported in the next marketing year, with 

domestic consumption growth remaining moderate. Post predicts export volumes of palm oil will grow 

from 17.85 mmt in the current marketing year to 19.35 mmt in MY 2011/2012, with vegetable oil 

demand from China and India being the primary driver. Export growth to Europe depends on 

Indonesia’s compliance with sustainable palm oil production requirements and the progress in Reducing 

Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) enforcement. Significantly, Europe’s 

supply and demand situation for rapeseed and sunflower oil will also be relevant in their demand for 

palm oil. Provided that external factors remain predictable, Post expects Indonesian palm oil export to 

Europe in MY 2011/2012 will remain consistent at roughly 4.0 mmt.

Stocks:Post expects ending stocks to increase from 302,000 mt in MY 2010/2011 to 367,000 mt in MY 

2011/2012.

Policy:

The Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association (GAPKI) has proposed to the GOI a scheme to 

replace progressive palm oil export taxes with a three percent flat tax. The GOI has indicated 

that it may be possibility of adopting a flat tax, but stressed that the percentage must be greater 

than the three percent proposed by GAPKI. This debate remains ongoing and the GOI continues 

to maintain its progressive export tax, which raises taxes on a sliding scale based on the 

international price of palm oil. This results in higher export taxes during periods of high palm 

oils prices.

The GOI was expected to start implementing REDD as of January 2011. However, 

implementation achieved, as stakeholders, to include the Ministry of Forestry, the Ministry of 

Agriculture, palm oil production companies, mining companies, and non-governmental 

organizations are still debating whether the draft should include only primary forests or both 

primary and secondary forests that are prohibited to be converted into other area uses such as 

mining and estate business.

The rising palm oil prices have triggered a domestic cooking oil price hike. The GOI, hopes to 

maintain more stable cooking oil prices by providing consumer price control subsidies. Up to 

240 billion Indonesian rupiah (roughly $20 million) has been put aside for this initiative in 

calendar year 2011.

Palm Kernel Production 1973 - 2010 (TMT) 

Total Crushing 

The above data shows that total palm kernel production experienced steep growth since 1999, reaching 

12.4 mmt in 2010. In 2009 palm kernel crushers only used 48 percent of the palm kernel produced.

However, this level is up significantly since 2000 due to increased capacity of palm kernel processing 

plants.

Palm kernel production stood at 5.875 mmt in MY 2009/2010. Post predicts that this will rise to 6.125 

and 6.8 mmt in MY 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 respectively. 

Consumption:

97 percent of palm kernel used by Indonesian crushers goes toward the production PKO (and 

subsequently PKM). The remaining three percent of Indonesian palm kernel is used in the production 

of livestock feed. No Indonesian palm kernel is exported, and Indonesia does not currently import palm 

kernel, as the domestic supply exceeds demand.

Production:

PKM is derived from palm kernel at the extraction rate of around 53 percent. Indonesia produced 3.12 

mmt of PKM in MY 2009/2010. Increasing palm oil production and expanding crushing capacity 

would raise PKM production to 3.2 and 3.5 mmt in MY 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 respectively.

Consumption:

Domestically, PKM is only consumed for animal feed and accounted for nearly 400,000 mt in MY 

2009/2010. Feed use of PKM is expected to slowly grow to 450,000 and 500,000 mt in MY 2010/2011 

and 2011/2012 respectively.

Trade:

85 percent of total Indonesian PKM production is destined for the export market. Indonesian PKM 

exports registered at 2.6 mmt in MY 2009/2010. The volume is expected to grow to 2.8 and more than

Production:

Indonesian soybean production in MY 2011/2012 is predicted to reach 720,000 mt. This prediction 

anticipates the possibility that Indonesia will not increase its production levels in MY 2010/2011 due to 

ongoing weather problems. 

The Indonesia Weather Office (BMKG), at the prospective level, has indicated that the 2011 dry season 

might start in June instead of April. Ministry of Agriculture officials have expressed their anxiety that 

Oilseed, Soybean
Indonesia will not increase soybean production in 2011 due to the unpredicted weather situation.

Farmers in the southern areas of West Java typically finish preparing their fields for soybean production 

by the end of February. When weather cycles are normal, standing crops of soybeans are visible in 

April, when the dry season typically begins. The fields and beans then begin to dry down and farmers 

can harvest their crops during the beginning of June. However, because of the recent extraordinary 

weather, Indonesia’s soybean production in MY 2010/2011 remains uncertain.

Post reflects uncertainty in Indonesia soybean production recovery in the following scenario:

Provided that the weather patterns are normal, Post predicts that production would increase from 

700,000 mt in MY 2009/2010 to 720,000 mt in MY 2010/2011. Post pegs production in MY 2011/2012 

at 720,000 mt to take into account the possible production problems in MY 2010/2011.

Consumption:

As mentioned in our January 2011 oilseeds update, the annual growth of the production of tempeh and 

tofu – which accounts for a large majority of Indonesian soybean consumption – stands at two to three 

percent. Smaller food sectors such as soymilk and soy sauce are growing at a higher rate, reportedly up 

to eight percent.

Based on that growth rate, domestic soybean consumption is predicted to grow to 2.45 mmt in MY 

2011/2012.

Trade:

Stagnant production in the midst of growing consumption will result in higher imports of soybean. 

Imports of soybeans are expected to grow to 1.73 mmt in MY 2011/2012, of which 91 percent is 

expected to be imported from the United States.

Commodities:

Consumption:

Soybean meal is mainly used by livestock feed producers in Indonesia. The growing trends in soybean 

meal consumption correspond with the increase in animal feed production. The increased levels of 

animal feed production further correspond with Indonesia’s rapid economic growth. As more people 

enter the middle class, more people can afford to pay for meat, eggs and dairy. The Indonesian Feed 

Millers Association (GPMT) sets their national feed production target at 10.3 mmt in MY 2010/2011.

GPMT also projects six percent production growth in livestock feed over the next marketing year.

Meal, Soybean
Soybean meal, which is used as a source of protein, accounts for 25 percent of total feed ingredient.

Based on this information, the feed industry will likely procure nearly 2.58 and 2.74 mmt of soybean 

meal in MY 2010/2011 and MY 2011/2012 respectively.

Trade:

Limited soybean supplies and the absence of soybean crushing facilities make Indonesia totally 

dependent on imported soybean meal to satisfy its domestic demand. Indonesia is predicted to import 

2.6 and 2.7 mmt of soybean meal in MY 2010/2011 and MY 2011/2012 respectively. The 

overwhelming majority of Indonesian tofu and tempeh is derived from U.S. soybeans, due to their 

quality and size, which is desirable for these products. However, Indonesian importers of soybean meal 

are less concerned about overall quality and tend to be more price sensitive. As a result, a large margin 

of the soybean meal imported into Indonesia originates from South America.

Commodities:

Production:

The availability of copra in Indonesia depends on the following factors:

Fresh coconut productions

Indonesia fresh coconut production is predicted to decline within the next two years due to stagnant 

yields and smaller harvested areas. The yields are stagnating as farmers frequently fail to replant and 

regularly fertilize their trees. Coconut trees have become more of a “backyard crop” in which a single 

household might own between 20 – 50 trees. Farmers who actually specialize in coconut production 

generally control between 3 – 5 hectares of coconut planting land. The areas usually associated with 

coconut production are Gorontalo, North Sulawesi, Riau, and North Sumatra, in which they use 

coconuts to produce copra. Conversely, coconut tree logging activities and land conversion has resulted 

in decreased harvested areas for coconut.

As can be seen on the table, country’s coconut production (copra equivalent) is predicted to decline 

from 3.5 mmt in MY 2009/2010 to 3.485 mmt in MY 2010/2011, and it is expected to further decline to 

3.465 mmt in MY 2011/2012. 

Other uses of fresh coconut

Industrial uses for fresh coconut are expected to grow over the next two marketing years. The 

Indonesian food industry, including two large instant coconut milk instant producers, Pulau Sambu and 

Cocomas, is the major growth driver of industrial consumption of fresh coconut.

Lower supplies of fresh coconuts, combined with higher industrial demand for fresh coconuts, may 

result in less fresh coconuts available for copra production. Unstable copra prices also contribute to 

Oilseed, Copra
lower copra production, as more farmers prefer to sell fresh coconuts instead of processing into copra.

Consequently, production of copra is predicted to decline from 1.6 million mt in MY 2009/2010 to 

1.535 mmt and 1.48 mmt in MY 2010/2011 and MY 2011/2012 respectively.

Consumption:Nearly all production of copra comes from copra crushing facilities, which produce crude 

coconut oil and copra meal.

Trade:A tiny fraction of copra, mostly in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo, is exported to Philippines. 

Geographically, these two provinces are very close to Philippines.

Policy:

Indonesia coconut council (DEKINDO) that has been established in 2008 is proposing to government to 

initiate coconut revitalization program in 2012. The program will include distribution of good coconut 

seed, replanting and rejuvenation, as well as developing value added products derived from coconut.

Commodities:

Production:

Crude coconut oil (CCO) is extracted from copra. Lower copra availability, therefore, would reduce 

CCO production. Post estimates a decrease in CCO production from 968,000 mt in MY 2009/2010 to 

935 and 900,000 mt in MY 2010/2011 and MY 2011/2012 respectively.

Consumption:

Less than forty percent of CCO production is used for industrial and food consumption in Indonesia.

Food consumption, however, is expected to decline in the next two marketing years as Indonesian 

household more familiar with palm oil for cooking.

Trade:Indonesia is one of the five largest CCO exporting countries. The country exports more than 60 

percent of its CCO production. Owing to the decreasing CCO production, the growing export and 

industrial use of CCO in the next two marketing years would be at the expense of lower food use of 

CCO.

Commodities:

Production:

The extraction of crude coconut oil from copra would result in copra meal as a byproduct. Production 

of copra meal, in parallel with CCO production, is expected to decline from 505,000 mt in MY 

2009/2010 to 478,000 and 468,000 mt in MY 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 respectively.

Consumption:

Nearly half of Indonesia copra meal production is used for animal (cattle) feed. Another half of copra 

meals are allocated for the export market.

Commodities:

Production:

Indonesia produced 1.15 mmt of peanuts that were harvested from 700,000 hectares of harvested area in 

MY 2009/2010. Production is predicted to slightly decline by 70,000 mt to 1.08 mmt in MY 2010/2011 

due to possible unfavorable weather condition (read: higher rainfall). As the weather may back to 

normal, production recovery is expected to take a place in MY 2011/2012.

Consumption:

Most of peanut production is dedicated to food use. Indonesian traditional foods often include peanut 

sauces for condiments. Indonesian peanut consumption, therefore, will grow in parallel with population 

growth.

Stagnant production, in combination with growing food use, will result in smaller peanuts that are 

allocated for animal feed use and crushing.

Trade:

Indonesia experienced trade deficit of peanuts at minus 195,000 mt in MY 2009/2010. Production drop 

is expected to widen trade deficit to 292,000 mt in MY 2010/2011. The deficit will slightly drop to 

250,000 mt in MY 2011/2012 thanks to possible production recovery.
