The Indonesian Palm Oil Association, known as GAPKI (Gabungan Pengusaha Kelapa Sawit Indonesia), is an organization of oil palm growers and palm oil producers, established on February 27, 1981. GAPKI currently has 747 members managing approximately 3.7 million hectares of oil palm plantations, representing over 30% of Indonesia's total plantation area. The association plays a vital role in advocating for the industry, promoting sustainability, supporting research, and collaborating with stakeholders to tackle key challenges.

GAPKI has been instrumental in developing the downstream palm oil industry, especially with the implementation of biodiesel mandates such as B30 and B35. Ongoing testing of B40 and the exploration of new bioenergy products like Green Diesel, Green Gasoline, and Green Avtur demonstrate Indonesia’s forward-looking stance. GAPKI’s role in supplying feedstock for the energy sector is increasingly crucial.

GAPKI champions sustainable practices through mandatory ISPO certification. The association works closely with smallholders, providing training to improve sustainability standards and livelihoods. GAPKI also engages with global stakeholders to promote responsible palm oil production and address market challenges.

Looking ahead, GAPKI focuses on strengthening Indonesia's position as the world's leading sustainable palm oil producer while expanding downstream industries. Through innovation and collaboration, GAPKI continues to balance economic growth with environmental responsibility in the palm oil sector.
