29.01.2020 17:00 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Following are selected highlights from a report issued by a U. S. Department of Agriculture attache in Jakarta (Indonesia), after a lengthy interagency review, Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture released updated oil palm area data, significantly increasing overall plantation hectares. Production estimates are unchanged from the last report. Following months of speculation, in January 2020 the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) officially released updated oil palm plantation area data through the publication of MOA Decree 833/2019. The revised area estimates are based on reconciliation of satellite data by several agencies, including MOA, Ministry of Forestry and Environment, and LAPAN (Indonesia’s space agency). The updated figures significantly increase total area by adding 1.7 million hectares to the Directorate General of Estate Crops previously published statistics in late 2018. Post will provide further analysis and an update on current and historical oil palm area and production in the upcoming March 2020 Indonesia Oilseeds Annual GAIN Report.
