The Indonesian Environmental Forum (Walhi) recorded that 6 million hectares of forest areas were released (PKH) for palm oil plantations by April 2022. More than a quarter (28%) of this released forest land is owned by 10 business groups.

State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), specifically PT Perkebunan Negara (PTPN), holds the largest concession at 404,920 hectares. Sinar Mas Group is second with a concession of 307,176 hectares.

Wilmar Indonesia ranks third with a land concession of 200,868 hectares. This year, Wilmar was in the spotlight when the Attorney General's Office named one of its commissioners a suspect.

The release of forest areas for palm oil plantations began during Soeharto's presidency. Soeharto released the largest area at 2.9 million hectares.

Meanwhile, Joko Widodo released 598,151 hectares of forest land during his eight years in office. In 2018, Jokowi halted the issuance of new permits for opening palm oil land, or a palm oil moratorium. This moratorium ended in September 2021 and has not been extended.
