Are oil palm plantations causing deforestation in Indonesia?
The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) data shows that oil palm plantations were the main cause of deforestation in Indonesia between 2021 and 2022, leading to 200 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
How has palm oil benefited Indonesia?
As the largest producer of palm oil, its production has benefited more than 4 million smallholder households and lifted around 2.6 million rural Indonesians out of poverty. The production and expansion of palm plantation areas have led to a 2.7% faster poverty reduction and a 4% faster consumption growth (Palm Oil Monitor: 2020).
Does Indonesia have a sustainable palm oil supply chain?
Indonesia’s total emissions for 2022, excluding the land-use sector, were 1,240 million metric tons, the highest on record. Therefore, palm oil supply chain emissions account for about a fifth of Indonesia’s total emissions (Mongabay: 2024). This underscores the urgent need for sustainable practices in the palm oil supply chain.
