        "summary": "The Agriculture Ministry, led by Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman, has ensured that Indonesia's crude palm oil (CPO) production is sufficient to meet domestic demand during Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah, including the anticipated spike in cooking oil consumption during the religious holiday. The government is monitoring upstream stock levels, maintaining its biodiesel mandate (B40\/B50), and promoting the smallholder palm rejuvenation programme to sustain productivity and stabilise palm oil supply. Inter-ministerial coordination with the Trade Ministry and food task force has been strengthened to prevent distribution bottlenecks from factories to packaging facilities.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 The Agriculture Ministry (Kementan) in coordination with\nrelevant stakeholders has prepared crude palm oil (CPO) production to\nmeet demand for Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah.<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman confirmed that national CPO\nproduction is sufficient to meet domestic requirements, including ahead\nof the surge in demand during the major religious celebration. \u201cThis\nincludes addressing the spike in demand in the lead-up to this important\nreligious occasion,\u201d Amran stated in an official statement on Monday (2\nMarch 2026).<\/p>\n<p>The government regularly monitors upstream stock levels, including\nchecking storage tank capacity and raw material distribution. The\nAgriculture Ministry also emphasised that palm oil remains crucial to\nstabilising the national cooking oil supply and supporting the 40 per\ncent Mandatory Biodiesel policy (B40\/B50).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, our commitment to the biodiesel programme\ncontinues to proceed in a measured and controlled manner,\u201d Amran\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The government continues to implement the Smallholder Palm\nRejuvenation Programme (PSR) to ensure that smallholder plantations\nremain productive. \u201cThe key to stability lies in productivity. Through\nthe PSR and technical assistance, we are driving increases in harvest\nyield per hectare to meet the growth in industrial demand and domestic\nconsumption,\u201d Amran explained.<\/p>\n<p>Director-General of Plantation Abdul Roni Angkat noted that cooking\noil demand typically increases by 10 to 15 per cent year-on-year during\nRamadhan and Eid. \u201cCross-ministerial coordination, including with the\nTrade Ministry and the food task force, continues to be strengthened to\nprevent potential distribution disruptions from factories through to the\npackaging stage,\u201d Roni said.<\/p>",
