Welcome Messages
GAPKI Chairperson
Dear Colleagues,
2020 is a challenging year for Indonesia and the whole world. Our hope for robust growth has been disrupted by the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19), which has impacted almost all aspects of human life.
Until now, the pandemic is still running rampant, and, despite of the fact that there have been several potential candidate vaccines undergoing final tests in many countries including Indonesia, nobody can surely predict when it will end. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it as global pandemic and provided necessary guidelines for all governments to help stop the pandemic in their respective countries. The Indonesian government has decided to implement a new normal scheme, a combination of health protocol and newly-designed social guidelines to contain the spread of the pandemic.
It is in compliance with the new normal scheme that we introduce a new concept of online conference called the Indonesian Palm Oil Conference (IPOC) 2020 New Normal. Under the new concept, our annual IPOC this year will be held virtually through online conference, instead of the usual norm of in-person meeting. But despite of being virtual, this year event will meet all participant's expectation in terms of getting updated with the latest development of palm oil industry, as well as its future trends and analyses.
On behalf of the Indonesian Palm Oil Association, I am honoured and delighted to invite our esteemed colleagues in palm oil and related industries to join our prestigious annual event IPOC 2020 New Normal. The conference will be held on 2 – 3 December 2020 online at our conference website https://www.gapkiconference.org/.
The main theme of this year conference is "Palm Oil Industry in the New Normal Economy". This theme is specially chosen to discuss the impacts of Covid-19 pandemic and the recovery plan regarding to the economy and palm oil industry. Series of prominent speakers will present their insights, while participants will certainly have their chances to involve in thorough discussions.
It is a great pleasure for me to greet our regular sponsors and partners with whom we had a good relationship for years and I hope that our cooperation with new sponsors and partners will be as fruitful. I also would like to convey my most sincere gratitude to our Main Sponsors who support our organisation.
We encourage you to attend the conference to gain more information and expand your networking. I am confident that this event will contribute added values in developing and shaping the palm oil industry in the future - with great benefits to your business in particular.
Your support and participation will make the conference successful. We look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure and my privilege to welcome you to the IPOC 2020 New Normal online on 2 – 3 December 2020. We enjoyed a remarkably successful conference last year. More than 1,500 participants and visitors from all over 23 countries recorded attending this conference. But in this very particular year, we limit our participants at maximum 1,000 delegates only.
The theme of this year conference is "Palm Oil Industry in the New Normal Economy". This conference will present speakers from around the world, representing different viewpoints from government, industry, and academia.
The keynote speech itself will be delivered by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia and other top-level government officials will also address the latest issues of palm oil industry especially on condition on Indonesia's economy and the post-Covid-19 recovery plan.
In addition to the conference programme, we will also arrange a social and business gathering in the form of online networking available at our conference website. Once again, on behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to sincerely extend my invitation for you to participate in the conference.
Mona Surya
IPOC Chairperson
