PALMOILMAGAZINE, MEDAN – To enhance public understanding of palm oil, the Museum Perkebunan Indonesia (Musperin) has launched an innovative immersive room. This interactive exhibit is designed to effectively educate people, especially younger generations, about palm oil and its benefits.
Eddy Abdrachman, Director of the Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Agency (PFMA), stated that the immersive room will offer detailed and accurate information to counteract negative campaigns against palm oil. He emphasized that this engaging and informative approach would help clarify misconceptions.
“For many years, there has been a lack of detailed understanding about palm oil and its uses. The immersive room will allow younger generations to experience and grasp this information more easily and inspirationally,” Eddy noted.

This initiative is not only crucial for preserving local knowledge but also for altering the broader negative perceptions of palm oil.
Director of Institutional Relationship, PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV PalmCo, Irwan Peranging-angin did appreciate the initiative. “Palm oil education and delivering its application would be significant and should be more to do. We would be ready to support everything needed to confirm that the education would be running well,” Perangin-angin said, as Palmoilmagazine.com quoted from the official page of Pusat Penelitian Kelapa Sawit (PPKS), Sunday (14/72024).
He also said that the immersive room would enable the children to learn and study about palm oil in a relax and interactive situation. “The children would see the real situation with the intensive hand and they would understand that palm oil would be part of our lives,” he said. The immersive room would deliver not only education in theories but also different and fund practical experiences.
Musperin hoped it would be one educational infrastructure about palm oil. By delivering the good education, the people would understand and appreciate the roles of palm oil in our daily live. “We would see the enthusiastic will from the industries and the people to come and learn more about palm oil,” Perangin-angin said.
Back to Eddy, the immersive room should be the educational model that should be applied in other regions. It means, the accurate and positive information about palm oil would be known and helping to fight the negative campaigns which might be unreasonable. “We do hope this could inspire many parties to join in and educate the people that palm oil is significant,” he said.
