Palm Oil Becomes the Largest Non-Oil and Gas Asset -Only a year since the establishment of the Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDP), the agency continues to pump full efforts and support to build the national palm oil industry into one of the largest backbones of Indonesia's economy. Agam Faturrochman as the Head of the Sustainable Oil Palm Promotion Division of BPDP Sawit stated that the community needs to be optimistic about the importance of the oil palm plantation sector in supporting the Indonesian economy.
For example, Adam described how five years ago it became the pride of the community in itself if he could work in the oil and gas sector, but now it has reversed because foreign exchange from the palm oil sector has far outperformed the country's income from the oil and gas sector.

According to Agam again, this community optimism can actually encourage improvements
in the management of oil palm plantations themselves to the derivative sector. Agam again gave an example of how the Malaysian palm oil industry is because, with full support from the government and its people, it is finally able to contribute 25 percent of their country's total foreign exchange, while our country currently only reaches 13 percent.
Therefore, in order to support these efforts, BPDP Sawit is playing to promote sustainable socialization and education to the community and all parties involved in this industry so that
they begin to realize the potential and opportunities of managing this extraordinary palm
oil commodity for the Indonesian economy.
