Indonesia overtook Malaysia as the biggest producer of palm oil and reached a total production of 30 million tons in 2014 (Ministry of Agriculture, 2015).

Therefore, the government wants to resolve this problem by increasing the added value of palm oil products. Innovation is the key factor to increase the added value of palm oil products.
