Black campaign has the potential to suppress the competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil and forest products
The Executive Director of the Palm Oil Agribusiness Strategic Policy Institute (PASPI), Tungkot Sipayung,
explained that the black campaign against natural commodities such as palm oil and forestry products in Indonesia had been going on since the 1980s, when plantations and forestry began to develop. “Currently, oil palm and forestry are being attacked by black campaigns for using exaggerated and exaggerated issues. These various issues must be watched out for because they can suppress Indonesia's power in the international market," said Tungkot. As explained by Tungkot, the black campaign's pressure on the competitiveness of superior commodities is aimed at aspects of consumer tastes/demands and the cost of production. "It must be remembered that the people's taste factor and the basic cost of production are at the heart of competitiveness. The black campaign is trying to hit through these two factors," he explained. According to him, black campaign patterns and issues try to influence people's behavior so that they no longer use natural commodities which are one of their wealth. In Indonesia, this campaign targets consumer countries such as Europe, China, and India. To change consumer tastes for palm oil, for example, said Tungkot, a palm oil free campaign was launched in a number of food products. Tungkot asked the government and other actors The industry is aware of the long-term effects of this NGO black campaign because the impact of the campaign has been seen from the use of the 'No Palm Oil' label in the country to efforts to put pressure on national and international certification bodies.
