Indonesia's total palm oil exports in November 2016 reached 25.05 million tons. This figure is down 1.2 percent compared to the 2015 export volume. The highest export achievement during 2016 was reached in Quarter I, amounting to 7.4 million tons.
The decrease in palm oil production in subsequent quarters was affected by climate change as a consequence of El Niño. Furthermore, the production decline was also influenced by low global crude oil and CPO prices during the June-October 2016 period. The CPO KPB price reached its lowest point in October 2016.
According to the Indonesian Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS) records, in 2016, the performance of smallholder plantation improvements remained poor due to ongoing obstacles related to land legality.
