Domestic palm oil consumption has steadily increased in recent years, particularly for biodiesel production.

This is evident from data released by the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI).

According to GAPKI data, total domestic palm oil consumption in 2023 reached 23.21 million tons.

Consumption increased by approximately 2.07 million tons, or 9.8%, compared to 2022 (year-on-year).

This consumption was primarily used for biodiesel production, followed by food applications.

In 2023, palm oil consumption for biodiesel reached 10.65 million tons, representing 45.9% of total national consumption.

Meanwhile, palm oil consumption for food applications was approximately 10.3 million tons, or 44.4% of total national consumption.

"With the implementation of B35, palm oil consumption for biodiesel in 2023 surpassed domestic consumption for food," stated GAPKI in its press release (February 27, 2024).

Besides food and biodiesel, in 2023, palm oil was also consumed by the oleochemical industry, with a volume of 2.27 million tons, or 9.8% of total national consumption.

In the oleochemical industry, palm oil is used to produce compounds such as fatty acids and fatty alcohols, which then become raw materials for surfactants, soaps, cosmetics, detergents, and others.
