Bali was to host a two-day national conference on palm oil in Nusa Dua, starting Thursday.
The so-named Indonesian Palm Oil Conference, this year themed “Sustainable Palm Oil: Benefit to the Socio-Economic Development”, the sixth since 2005, will discuss issues of sustainable oil plantation, price prediction for the short and long term as well as market challenges.
Mona Surya, the conference's committee chairman, said the number of participants this year would be 1,000, up from 872 participants in 2009.
Mona said that among those participants were representatives of 24 countries, including Taiwan, Malaysia, India, Japan, China, Rusia, Thailand and the United States.
“People support this program because Indonesia is now the biggest crude palm oil producer in the world,” Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association chairman Joefly J Bahroeny said as quoted by Kontan.co.id business news portal.
