The Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association (Gapki) said adequate infrastructure remains a stumbling block. “Infrastructure problems, including industrial cluster ports, have been one of our main concerns regarding our palm oil competitiveness,” Gapki chairman Joko Supriyono was quoted as saying.“
For instance, our public ports, especially in Medan and Dumai, North Sumatra, are currently still inadequate to support the smooth running of export activities, including during loading. The situation has forced many companies to build their own ports,” the Industry Ministry’s director general for agro-based industry, Panggah Susanto said.
