Abstract

Are you looking for a summary focusing on global trends or specific details about Indonesia’s palm fruit production?

Palm fruit production (worldwide)

Since 1961, global palm fruit production has surged, with Indonesia leading the way. By 2021, Indonesia reached a peak production of 10.5Mt, reflecting its dominant role in the industry. Over the decades, production has expanded significantly due to increased demand and large-scale cultivation. Trends indicate that while Indonesia remains the top producer, other countries have also ramped up production, though none have matched Indonesia’s peak. This growth has led to heightened environmental concerns and calls for sustainable practices.

Palm fruit production (continent)

In 2021, global palm fruit production reached a peak of 16.1 million tonnes in Asia, underscoring the region’s crucial role in the industry. Historically, palm fruit production has surged due to rising demand and extensive cultivation, with Asia, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia, driving the majority of output. This growth reflects increased agricultural investments but also raises concerns over environmental impacts. Efforts are now focused on balancing production with sustainability to address ecological and social challenges associated with palm fruit cultivation.
