GAPKI Profile
Indonesian Palm Oil Association or better known as GAPKI (Gabungan Pengusaha Kelapa Sawit Indonesia) is an organization of oil palm growers/palm oil producers in Indonesia, which was established on 27 February 1981. As of today, GAPKI has 718 members who control oil palm acreage of around 3.7 million hectares or more than 30% of Indonesia's total oil palm plantation areas, making GAPKI an important Government partner in improving the Indonesian palm oil industry. GAPKI membership continues to grow every year.
Indonesia's downstream palm oil industry has been growing robustly, especially after the consistent implementation of the mandatory program of biodiesel 30 percent (B30). Further research has been also carried out to expand the use of palm oil for the production of other bio-energy products, such as Green Diesel, Green Gasoline, and Green Avtur. That means GAPKI's role is increasingly important as an association of growers to supply palm oil as the feedstock of the energy industries.
GAPKI pays special attention to the growth of the downstream industry as it stands as a captive market that will certainly influence the whole industry of palm oil in Indonesia.
GAPKI is very keen to ensure the sustainability of palm oil production. It has been long promoted among members about the best practices of palm oil production based on the principles of sustainability. GAPKI has also urged members to realize the sustainability principles through the implementation of the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO), which has been long regulated by the Indonesian government as part of its sustainability commitment.
