Oleochemicals production in Indonesia will see an increase as the government plans to take the nation's oleochemicals production to the maximum of 3.8 million tons. This increase will boost the country's exports of processed products from 47% to 60% of total palm oil exports.

In an attempt to attract investment, the Indonesian government is granting tax holidays and tax allowances to big oleochemicals investments, an example being Unilever Oleochemical Indonesia which is granted a five-year tax holiday and two-year 50% discounted tax for its investment of $133 million in a palm oil-to-oleochemicals refinery in Sei Mangke, North Sumatra.
