Palm is one of the most efficient crops

Palm produces up to 10 times more oil per hectare compared to other major vegetable oils

Oil Palm agriculture has proven to be a Major Driver of Economic Development

 Approx. 36% world palm oil production Approx. 29% of world exports.

 Contributes around 5% to 7% of GDP

 Exports revenue 2009 – RM 50 billion 2013 – RM 80 billion Avg. 10% to total export revenue

 The sector also provides

~500,000 employment opportunities

 National Key Economic Area: targets to generate RM178 billion in gross national income by 2020.

 Approx. 53% world palm oil production Approx. 44% of world exports.

 Food and estate crops contributed around 9% of GDP in 2013

 Exports revenue of USD19 bil in 2013; Avg. 10.4% to total export revenue.

 An estimated 3.7 million people are believed to be employed in the palm oil industry in Indonesia.
