Indonesia is experiencing significant growth in its palm oil sector, driven by high global demand and rising domestic consumption. National production reached 46 million tons for the 2024/2025 period, with Riau province serving as a major contributor. In June 2026, crude palm oil (CPO) exports saw a massive spike, increasing from 31,000 tons in May to 335,000 tons in June.

Regional data from West Sumatra reflects this broader trend. Between January and July 2026, the province's export value rose 21.28 percent to US$1.937 billion. Animal and vegetable fats and oils, specifically liquid fractions of palm oil, crude palm oil, and refined palm oil, were the primary drivers of this growth, accounting for 85.78 percent of the total export value.
