PALMOILMAGAZINE, BEKASI – The agricultural sector in Indonesia has traditionally held significant importance in the country’s economy, serving as a primary source of food and energy. With proper management, particularly in the palm oil industry as a strategic commodity, this sector has the potential for further growth and development.
However, there is a lack of understanding about palm oil among many individuals. Unfortunately, misconceptions prevail, with some perceiving palm oil as environmentally destructive and having negative impacts.
Chairman of Forum Pemuda Sawit Indonesia, Hendro Kartiko said he is sad for many black campaigns about palm oil. Hendro told, this could happen for the lack of information about the good values of palm oil.
“That is why to fight black campaigns about palm oil, we need structural, systematic, and massive movements and action that young generations could initiate,” he said in car free day area, Jakarta at Jalan Santai Bersama Generasi Sawit Baik Untuk Indonesia, Jakarta, Sunday (18/6/203).
