Welcome Messages
GAPKI Chairman
Dear Colleagues,
The Covid-19 pandemic is still a tough challenge in 2021, especially because of its new variant that has hit many countries including Indonesia. The resurgent COVID-19 cases have forced many countries to reimpose lockdowns as a preventive measure against the possibility of getting worse. This situation certainly disrupts the country's economic activities and slows down economic recovery.
Despite acceleration of vaccinations in many countries including Indonesia, nobody can surely predict when the pandemic will end, causing a certain degree of uncertainty and concern will persist throughout 2021 and beyond.
In boosting economic recovery, the Indonesian government has taken several steps, such as accelerating the vaccination program to achieve herd immunity, easing monetary policy, encouraging business activities through the provision of incentives/stimulus and lowering interest rate.
Indonesia's economic recovery is an interesting topic, so this year's Indonesian Palm Oil Conference (IPOC) will specifically discuss it, in addition to the main topic of palm oil supply, demand and price outlook.
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 2021. The conference will be held on 1 - 2 December 2021 virtually through our conference website https://www.gapkiconference.org/.
The theme of this year's conference is "Role of Palm Oil Industry towards Sustained Economic Recovery". 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 have had 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 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 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.
