Developing Indonesia’S Capacity In Milk Production And Industry: Learning From And Collaborating With The Netherlands
Indonesia’s palm oil industry continues to face negative allegations concerning environmental degradation, deforestation, and biodiversity loss, despite ongoing efforts by various stakeholders to promote sustainable practices. Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Indonesia has pursued palm oil diplomacy to safeguard market access and strengthen the international position of this strategic commodity. These efforts include challenging the European Union’s discriminatory policies through the World Trade Organization (WTO), establishing the ASEAN–EU Joint Working Group on Palm Oil, and conducting joint studies on vegetable oils and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nevertheless, Indonesia’s palm oil diplomacy has tended to be reactive and defensive. This paper emphasizes the need for a more inclusive approach by engaging domestic and international stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations and civil society, through multilateral, regional, and bilateral dialogues. Such engagement is expected to strengthen sustainable palm oil diplomacy, improve industry governance, enhance the welfare of communities surrounding plantations, and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs, biodiversity conservation, and global climate change mitigation efforts.
