Welcome Messages
GAPKI Chairman
Dear Colleagues,
In 2022, we are still faced with the challenge of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic with the emergence of various new variants. We are very grateful that the development of a vaccine for Covid-19 is also very massive and with the Indonesian government program in intensifying vaccines for its citizens, the Covid-19 pandemic is much more under control. Currently, the Covid-19 pandemic situation in Indonesia is under control, the government has also decided to relax people’s mobility and activity in public. We take this opportunity to hold IPOC face-to-face again after the last two years being held online. We are very excited to meet with our loyal IPOC colleagues and participants in person.
This year the palm oil industry is experiencing unique dynamics, starting with the disruption in the supply of vegetable oil in the global market due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, where world gas oil and vegetable oil prices skyrocketed. Then the Indonesian government decided to ban the export of CPO and its derivatives on the pretext of meeting the domestic demand for cooking oil, this also shocked the global market so that several countries that depend on Indonesia's supply became nervous. We see that this dynamic has changed the face of the world vegetable oil trade, so for this year's IPOC, we have the theme "New Landscape in World Vegetable Oil: Opportunities and Challenges for Palm Oil Industries".
We realize that the geopolitics of a nation will affect state regulations, especially in the economic order to be able to protect their own products and compete globally, so we also raise a particular topic of global geopolitical changes related to state policies, especially in the European Union and Indonesia's macroeconomic situation to be discussed in addition to the main topic of palm oil supply, demand and price outlook. An array of prominent speakers will present their insights, while participants will certainly have their chances to involve in thorough discussions.
On behalf of the Indonesian Palm Oil Association, I am honored and delighted to invite our esteemed colleagues in palm oil and related industries to join our prestigious annual event IPOC 2022.
It is a great pleasure for me to greet our regular sponsors and partners with whom we have had good relationships 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 organization.
I encourage you to attend the conference to gain more information and expand your networking. I am confident that this event will contribute added value 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.
