JAKARTA - Indonesia is the world's largest producer and exporter of palm oil. Together with Malaysia, the two countries account for more than 80 percent of global palm oil production. However, unlike Malaysia which exports most of the palm oil it produces, Indonesia is also one of the world's largest consumers of palm oil, which uses it as food oil as well as a biofuel raw material.
In addition, the downstream program is the main focus of the plantation sector policy in 2025, especially in the palm oil industry which plays a significant role in the national economy. The implementation of B40 biodiesel is expected to create added value of up to IDR 90 trillion and open more than 500,000 new jobs along the supply chain.
With this significant role, PT Fireworks Indonesia will once again hold the 16th edition of PALMEX Jakarta. This large-scale international palm oil technology exhibition will take place on May 6-7, 2026 at the Jakarta International Expo (JIEXPO), Kemayoran. PALMEX Jakarta is back to bring together industry players, policy makers, and global investors with the latest technological innovations that support productivity, business resilience, and the direction of sustainability of the Indonesian palm oil sector.
Group CEO Fireworks Trade Media, Kenny Yong said, PALMEX Jakarta is not just an exhibition. PALMEX Jakarta is a platform for business actors in the palm oil industry to connect, find solutions, and grow together.
"In the current industry conditions, the utilization of technology and collaboration across the value chain is the key for business actors to survive in the midst of global trends towards efficiency, digitization, and increasingly stringent sustainability standards," he said in a written statement, Monday, April 20.
PALMEX Jakarta is a focused platform for stakeholders across the palm oil value chain, from plantations and mills to refineries and downstream players to find practical solutions that can increase production yields, process efficiency, and support sustainable production.
This year, PALMEX Jakarta is expected to attract more than 7,000 industry professionals and present more than 300 international brands from Asia and Europe, which will showcase technologies in the fields of processing, milling, automation, digitization, and environmental management. This is a place where serious buyers from the plantation, mill, and refinery sectors come to find direct technology and solutions from global suppliers.
The main highlights of the event include:
• ASEAN Palm Oil Conference (ASPOC) with this year's theme: "Transforming the Asian Palm Oil Industry through Technology, Digitalization & Compliance", which presents leading associations and key players in the palm oil industry such as PTPN IV, DMSI, RPOI, as well as the Palm Oil Crushing Mill Association from Thailand. • Indonesia Palm Oil Technology Seminar, which presents innovative presentations from global technology providers that drive technological developments in the palm oil industry. • Indonesia Palm Oil Workshop Seminar, which highlights the main theories, operational frameworks, and industry perspectives for a deeper understanding of this sector.
