Foreign media: Indonesian President Suharto launched a campaign against illegal palm oil plantations, trying to reclaim millions of hectares of forest that were illegally occupied. It has been confirmed that 3.7 million hectares of plantations are illegal, and more are under review.
The palm oil industry in Indonesia is closely linked to global demand, with its products exported to countries such as India, China, and the United States, and demand has driven the expansion of plantations. After the implementation of the EU's deforestation regulation, Indonesian suppliers need to prove that their products are not related to deforestation.
China is a key importer of Indonesian palm oil. In 2024, it absorbed about 15% of Indonesia's exports, and approximately 75% of China's palm oil imports come from Indonesia. Therefore, China plays an important role in promoting the sustainable development of Indonesian palm oil.
