An environmental activist from the Sustainable Forest Advocacy Institute (Lembahtari), Sayed Zainal, walks beside piles of plastic waste from various global product brands that support deforestation, and logs carried by flash floods caused by Tropical Cyclone Senyar in the Leuser Ecosystem area at coordinates 4?16'26.26''N 97?48'47.74''E (UNESCO heritage site) on Sumatra Island, Indonesia, on December 29, 2025. Sayed Zainal says that this real condition is evidence of large companies that still fail to fulfill their promises to stop deforestation in their supply chains. This deforestation is generally triggered by the production of major commodities such as palm oil, beef, soy, wood, pulp & paper, coffee, and cocoa. Among the list of global brands and companies that are in the spotlight because they are considered to hurt forests are Mondelez, Nissin Foods, Procter & Gamble (P&G), Ferrero, Salim Group, Palm Oil and Pulp & Paper Sector, Sinar Mas Group (APP), RGE Group, and Wilmar International.

Collectors load palm oil fruits onto a truck in Patumbak, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on June 3, 2025. This scene highlights the central role of collectors in the palm oil supply chain, crucially connecting smallholders to processing plants. Such activities are common in major palm oil-producing regions such as North Sumatra, highlighting the important dynamics of this agribusiness sector. The palm oil sector is one of the world's most important agricultural commodities. Indonesia is the world's largest palm oil producer, accounting for more than 50% of global production and exports. Global demand for palm oil continues to increase, driven by its widespread use in a variety of industries, from food (cooking oil, margarine), oleochemicals (cosmetics, soap), to biofuels. Global demand for vegetable oils is projected to continue to soar, with palm oil becoming the preferred choice due to its much higher productivity compared to other vegetable oils, making it more competitive and sustainable in terms of land use. Although domestic consumption also increases, palm oil export volumes are expected to remain significant in 2025, underscoring the importance of the role of collectors in ensuring smooth supply from plantations to the global market.
