Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture confirms support for Sustainable Oil Palm Plantations conference in Jakarta

Dear [name],

Sustainable Oil Palm Plantations conference in Jakarta on 21-22 Jan 2010 is now supported and endorsed by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture (Department Pertanian Indonesia).

[name], the Ministry’s support for the conference comes at a crucial juncture, with Indonesia emerging as the world’s largest Crude Palm Oil Supplier, accounting for 44.7% of the world’s CPO market.

Indonesia plans to continue the expansion of oil palm plantations to cover a total area of 18 million hectares, from the current 9.7 million, to generate more employment and improve people's welfare, while balancing the many challenges in developing Indonesia’s palm industry, including persistent reports and accusations that Indonesia was clearing rainforests for oil palm cultivation.

On 21 January, Ir. Achmad Mangga Barani, Director General of Estate Crops at Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture will discuss the Indonesian government’s plans for sustainable palm plantations in his opening address on “Government Plans, Policies & Incentives for Expansion of Palm Oil Plantations”.

You will also get to hear on investment opportunities in Central Kalimantan and Riau Province, where regional regulators will discuss their commitment to sustainability access to land use issues.

Find out about investment opportunities in Indonesia at the Sustainable Oil Palm Plantations conference, where you will get to hear from and interact with Indonesia’s leading Oil Palm regulators, and Palm Oil industry executives.
