Obstacles and Barriers of Business Oil Palm Industry

Oil Palm Industry does not escape from the various challenges. Among these are the fluctuations in prices of CPO, which is still low productivity, the ability to develop downstream industries, social conflict and environmental issues.
Lately, the demand for oil industry development is vigorous environmental friendly voiced by NGOs. For example Principle & Criteria for Sustainable currently being disseminated by the Roundtable on Sustainable on Palm Oil (RSPO).

At company level, another challenge to be faced was the threat of business failure of the oil palm agribusiness that will harm capital owners who have invested their capital in large numbers. Some factors that could cause failures include the use of fake seeds, application of technical culture is not appropriate (such as planting, maintenance, fertilizer application, crop management), errors in interpretation of land suitability classes and more.

Social factors are a problem in the oil palm agribusiness enterprise is disharmony relationship between estates, local communities and relevant agencies. This situation can create problems such as the product of looting, land occupation, the problem of land availability and licensing.
The high price of CPO 2007-2008 are expected to be difficult to get back to the CPO price trends 2009-2010. CPO prices have abnormalities in 2008 was the high liquidity of the securities outstanding during the year, so that all products, including prices of crude palm oil become a means of speculation, so that price does not reflect the real state price, which is based on supply and demand. In 2007 and 2008 the price of CPO rose 68% -100% of the average CPO price in the year 2003-2006 in Rp.3500/kg level. Meanwhile, core prices also increased by 48% to 82% when the average price for the core Rp.2065/kg years 2003-2006. Based on the projection of world crude palm oil industry in 2009 will still be an increase in the volume of demand by 6% for the whole world. So our projected price of CPO and the nucleus for 2009 will be in Rp.4800-Rp.5000/kg level.

In September 2007 the Government changed the pattern of implementation of the export tax (ET) on petroleum products as well as all derivative products such as crude palm olein, crude stearin, olein kernel oil, RBD Kernel palm olein ET progressive. With the new rules of this ET, the exporter must pay the export tax is more costly to the office of Customs and Excise, if the price of oil and petroleum products in international markets at the top. Conversely, if prices in international markets are down, then ET to pay for exporters as well. This policy is to ensure the supply of CPO (crude palm oil) in the domestic market to avoid shortages.

However, on 15 June 2009, the government raised the tax rate on CPO exports from 1.5% to 6.5%. This policy is carried out, apparently to ensure the delivery of this product in the country. I understand that, as the price of CPO in the world market soared, the industry and traders were more happy playing in the export market.

The risks in shipping

Sea transport is a means of transportation which is vital in Indonesia, since Indonesia is an archipelago which has about 17,508 islands. These transportation facilities serving the passenger transport, trade, forest products and agriculture, mining, exports and imports.
Ship Type: The types of ships, including marine transportation functions are categorized as follows:
Passenger Ship: Ships that are designed and intended to serve the function of inter-island crossings as well as countries. Design of passenger ships is to have a high speed, navigation and safety facilities and comfort of passengers.
Types of ships involved in such a passenger ship cruises, Ferry and cruiser.
Ship Goods
Ships that are designed and intended function to transport goods between the islands and countries. Design of cargo ship is to have the hold space that can contain various types of goods and there are equipped with loading and unloading equipment.

Types of ships involved in such vessels are: General Cargo, which consists of container ships, ship Ro-Ro (roll-on roll-out), Ship Lash (Barge) and Dry Bulk Cargo Ship. Tanker Ship, Bulk Cargo Ship (bulk goods), Multipurpose ship (multi-purpose vessel).
Every business has risks of its operations, to identify any risks that may arise will be pursued properly anticipate the steps so that if something happens to the company's operational risk level is facing the most minimal level. Risk-risk that may arise in the shipping business especially cargo ships are as follows:


Risks Not Getting Content / Content Not Full

Destination sailing and diversity of content greatly affects the amount of charge that can be transported. Cargo boat that will be purchased and operational plan for transporting cement, coal, steel or other both domestically and abroad.
For inter-island shipping transport in the country and abroad at risk of not getting the goods transported in one direction of the voyage. The difference is only at the level where the risk of loss or loss of vacancies not filled in charge overseas shipping larger compared in the country, because the cost of shipping and port that is high enough.

Risk of Damage During charge Cruises

Transportation services for users of transportation of goods, means of transportation is very important in efforts to get the goods in accordance with her wishes. But the quantity and quality of goods is not necessarily in accordance with the desired order.
In these circumstances companies face trying to maintain the feasibility of the operation so that the cargo ship was not lost or damaged transportation of ship. While damage due to normal circumstances such as packaging leaks, decreasing the weight / content, torn, worn and packaging standards are not appropriate risks of the owner of the goods.

Risk of Drowning / Accidents
Sea transport has sunk risk / accident when the ship was sailing along with the load he was carrying. To overcome this risk of loss due to the speed boat will be insured with a guaranteed Risk transportation experience includes fire, explosion, ran aground, sinking, upside down and collision between ships or objects other than water.

Damage Risk
Damage to the motor boat engine components or the hull will cause the ship to be unable to operate. If this condition occurs with high frequency will certainly result in reduced revenue. The Company will continue to do maintenance and minor repairs on both boat engines, other equipment or the hull. Implementation of improvements or dock either large or small docking will be carried out according to schedule.

Economic Risks

Macroeconomic situation is very influential on business activities in general. Economic growth characterized by an increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and GDP per capita and the depreciation of the exchange rate under control that occurred before the economic crisis in mid 1997, has encouraged industrial and business activities in real sector in general on a high growth rate.
But the conditions of economic crisis that occurred in mid 1997 has led to industrial activities in general to be blocked, people's purchasing power in general declined. Entering the year 1999 until the year 2004 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) again showed an increase.
By looking at the expected economic conditions continue to improve the activities of the business world will also be running with the chain growing business also.

Competition Risk

Marine transportation business activities can not be separated from the competition on the same type of business or any other form of transportation modes. Offer a better will make the benefits of the form of services or products it offers.
For companies that continue to maintain and improve conditions of service through the provision of motor boats are always in proper operating condition so that the travel records / schedules for these ships are always good in the end can still reach the existing market opportunities.

Look The Property Market Cycle

Properties on the market at this time are on the fragile condition and there is a demand decline sharply due to the economic crisis in the field.

What is the cycle? The simple cycle can be said as a result of the natural instability of the market and the player’s inability to maintain stable market supply and demand. In the long period of time this does not cause problems, but in a time where the market control and loose in a short time going over-heating so that the fall of the market can not be dodged, we need to think more deeply about these cycles.

Although we realize that not a single cycle, which represents a certain property activities, but the cycle is influenced by other economic-cycle according to the position of each. We need to identify the behaviour of some important economic element in the field of property (real estate) to be able to identify market trends, which are: Inflation cycle ; Macro-cycle long-term real estate ; Macro cycle real estate short-term; Cycle of funding from banks / financial institutions; Cycle of regional development; Cycle age and ownership rights invest; Cycle popularity and taste; Cycle demand ; Supply cycle ; Cycle rental properties .

Be seen from the national, cycle property also has a more important meaning. Such as Indonesia, are very dependent on foreign funds to finance projects in large-scale properties. At the time of going "property boom", the number of loans outside the country to grow rapidly. When then decrease sharply in the market situation, the foreign borrowing can lead to a drop in the value of the currency of dollar or rupiah.

In such conditions it is very possible despite the failure of the project owner is able to overcome the problems of decline in local demand. The situation therefore is not only due to a severe rise in the property market and funding from the bank but can be spread overlooks joint-joint national economy.

Basically, the cycle has a characteristic pattern that is a simple standard:
Cycle begins on the supply and demand balance. Demand increased in line with economic growth, this growth provides opportunities for development. Marked the beginning of the competition with the low level of price increase so quickly lead to higher investment returns above the average. Attracted by the large demand and the highest good, and added supply increased again with the emergence of new suppliers, this is causing increased competition and demand equilibrate quickly. As a result of the length management license, a bank loan agreement and the development of many developers who were late to enter the market so that more can not be absorbed by demand. Demand a high cause developers to ignore the quality of the building pursuing a greater advantage, so that developers do not have any experience of follow-follow-up to the market without thinking about the long-term program. Such conditions lead to the emergence of price wars, the quality of development and decrease the profit developers. This will cause complaints from buyers and eventually eliminate the public trust. See good growth, the Bank and financial institutions compete to provide race-loans to developers so that the loss of principles circumspection, the loan becomes more important than the quality of the loan. Difficulty selling the interest burden of the greater, so the developers were forced to lower the selling price so that the loss of benefits, some developers do not even longer to return the loan.

Investment oil palm processing factory still bright

Investment oil palm processing factory still bright. Development of oil palm processing factory in Indonesia is estimated to begin in 2001 will likely continue to increase in line with the increased consumption of CPO in the world of 2000 was 20.645 million tons and production of 19.962 million tons, and continues to increase until 2010, where the estimated world consumption of CPO will reach 29.0 million tons with production reached 28.571 million tons. Projected production of CPO in the world compared to the need to still have a large market opportunity.

Meanwhile, the demand of CPO in the country, both CPO and PKO to this generally can be met from production in the country. Based on the condition means that the market opportunities both in the country and to export up to at this time is quite good, this shows that the prospects of development with capacity 60 ton / hour palm oil processing factory until now is still quite good and the views of marketing are marketable.

By looking at the development of the area, production and potential new areas of the new oil palm plantation, as has been described previously, the opportunity for the development of oil palm plantation development and palm oil processing factory at this time to still have a future prospect, which is quite good. But this must be supported by all parties and related institutions, especially in terms of ease of funding from banks.

To support this industry sector, the Government of Indonesia still need to make special regulations, so that the CPO can be processed into the final in the country. Regulation is needed to prevent runaway CPO Indonesia to Malaysia and then exported as Malaysian products. Major competitors as Indonesia, Malaysia with its export agencies winning more votes in the CPO is able to organize because the product quality up to the state lobbying importer. Conditions like this will endanger the position of marketing in the CPO market-potential market. Malaysia can re-export of Indonesian CPO claim as their products.

Request sprout palm oil in Indonesia in 2005 reached 500 million sprouts. While the ability to shoot the production of oil palm in Indonesia superior per year up to 90 million. A large area of new oil palm plantations since 2004 caused the demand of oil palm seeds winning jump. With the supply of the shoot, large companies will experience difficulties in the procurement of oil palm shoot, so they would not need to import palm shoot from the outside.

Fluctuations in the price of CPO, companies engaged in the business sector should be able to perform the export of CPO with a minimum contract period of 6 months. This needs to be done in order to maintain the company's performance, especially when the CPO price has decreased.


With analysis of market demand the product of CPO to indicate that growth continues to increase, both at the national level and the world market, it can be concluded that:

Business development in the commodity of oil palm plantations which produce upstream CPO, have a market opportunity that is very good, because the CPO price trend, which continues to increase, in line with the increase in demand volume products. In addition to the development of fuel vegetable that can be updated, making this product the more prospective;
CPO is one of the Indonesian export commodity, the commodity is a product sold widely in the world.

CPO selling price is influenced by supply and demand conditions in the world market, both for the product itself and CPO substitution other products such as soybean oil (Soya Oil).

CPO products as competitors are other vegetable oils which is a product substitution, especially Soya Oil. In the market, this product can be said CPO is very competitive, this is a product of CPO cheapest compared to other product substitution is associated with the high level of efficiency, product CPO. Productivity of land for CPO is 3200 kg / ha, far greater than the productivity of the land for other vegetable oils.
