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.
