This way, exports could reach 42 million by 2045, even as home production of biodiesel hits 50 million tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Biodiesel <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of which, Indonesia uses its non-exported palm oil in biodiesel, oleochemical and food production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of its importance, biodiesel has become ubiquitous in Indonesia. In 2023, the country made it imperative that diesel in sale locally must contain at least&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/commodities\/indonesia-palm-oil-export-curbs-biodiesel-plans-hit-world-vegoil-supplies-2023-01-13\/\"><u>35%&nbsp;<\/u><\/a>biodiesel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move met with expectations of a palm oil export decline. However, companies strove to meet the goal by renewed replanting of aging trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why Haji now recommends new cultivation areas to increase biodiesel production, boost exports and finance replanting projects. While biodiesel boosts domestic revenue,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.selinawamucii.com\/insights\/prices\/indonesia\/palm-oil\/\"><u>palm oil exports<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;bring foreign exchange, part of which channels back to farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, as Indonesia foresees possible crude palm oil imports, the nation also deliberates how to boost production without deforestation. And as the statistics below show, top-level production is a major issue in CPO exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-indonesia-palm-oil-statistics\"><strong>Indonesia Palm Oil Statistics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Indonesia led global palm oil production in the 2022-23 market year at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/topics\/6079\/global-palm-oil-industry\/\"><u>45.5 million tonnes<\/u><\/a>, followed by neighboring Malaysia.
