The Indonesian Palm Oil Association (Gapki) revealed that crude palm oil (CPO) exports reached US$35 billion in 2021. This figure represents a 52.8% increase from US$22.9 billion in 2020.
This increase in export value is due to the high average CPO price in 2021. The average price reached US$1,194 per ton, 67% higher than the US$715 per ton in 2020.
Despite the increase in export value, CPO production was lower than in 2020. CPO production was recorded at 46.89 million tons in 2021, down from 47.03 million tons in 2020.
The export value in 2021 was the highest in the last five years. In 2017, the export value was recorded at US$22.97 billion. This value increased to US$23 billion in 2018.
Export value decreased to US$20.22 billion in 2019. The following year, export value increased again to US$22.9 billion.
