Therefore, plantation development, productivity\nimprovements, and the processing of palm oil derivative products must\noperate within a single ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Rachmat Pambudy said strengthening the upstream and downstream\nsectors must be carried out simultaneously so that the benefits of the\npalm oil industry can be felt widely by the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlantations and agriculture are part of national development; good\nplanning that is merely implemented is not enough, it must be felt\nproperly,\u201d he said at the closing of the Sawit Indonesia Expo &amp;\nConference (SIEXPO) 2026 in Pekanbaru, Riau.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, Rachmat assessed that SIEXPO can serve as a space to\nbring together various stakeholders while unifying the direction of\nnational palm oil industry development.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed hope that future palm oil industry development will not\nonly be oriented towards increasing production, but will also be able to\ncreate added value and expand economic benefits for the public.<\/p>",
