CPO production in 2009 is predicted to reach 21.5 million tons

The domestic CPO production in 2009 is predicted to reach 21.5 million tons, exceeding an earlier estimation of 20 million tons. According to the DG Plantations of the Agriculture Ministry, Achmad Manggabarani, this is caused by the expanding palm oil plantations from 7.157 million hectares in 2008 to 7.693 million hectares in 2009. In 2020, CPO production may reach 40 million tons with a total area of 9.127 million hectares.
