Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) Confirms Palm Oil is Not a Forest Plant
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) emphasized that palm oil is not a forest plant. Until now, there is no plan to revise the regulations related to palm oil.
"From various regulations, historical values, academic studies, general discourse and practice, palm oil is clearly not a forest plant and the government has no plans to revise these regulations," said Director General of Sustainable Forest Management (DG PHL) KLHK, Agus Justianto in a written statement. . Agus stated that oil palm was also not included as a forest and land rehabilitation plant (RHL). This refers to the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation P.23/2021. His party is currently focusing on solving various problems that have occurred several decades ago due to oil palm plantations. According to Agus, the expansive, monocultural, and non-procedural practice of oil palm plantations in forest areas has caused various legal, ecological, hydrological and social problems. "Given that forests have irreplaceable ecological functions, and oil palm plantations have got their own growth space, it is not currently an option to include oil palm as a type of forest plant or for rehabilitation activities," he said.
