Indonesia confident palm oil production can be increased to meet biofuel demand

Quick Summary:

NUSA DUA, Indonesia :Indonesia's chief economic minister said on Thursday he is confident palm oil production can be increased in coming years to meet the country's rising demand for biofuel.

However, production of the vegetable oil in Indonesia has stagnated in recent years due to aging trees.

The launch target was to replant 180,000 hectares each year, but since 2017, Indonesia has only provided funds to replant 360,000 hectares (890,000 acres), according to Airlangga.
