The palm oil market has seen substantial expansion and is anticipated to continue growing at a stable growth rate during forecasted period. The source of palm oil is a tropical tree that, once established, produces fruit for more than 30 years, providing much-needed employment for rural communities in developing countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. Because palm trees generate more oil per hectare than any other large oil seed crop, the oil is enormously profitable. Demand for palm oil has grown as a result of its low to no trans-fat content and low cost.

Tourism is an important contributor to Indonesia's economy, with the sector providing employment to some 11mn people as of end-2021, equivalent to 8.3% of the country’s total workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, hit the sector hard and, as a result, its contribution to Indonesia’s economy fell sharply. The total contribution of travel and tourism to Indonesia’s GDP fell from 5.9% in 2019 to 3.2% in 2020 and further to 2.4% in 2021, according to estimates by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Data from the UNWTO showed that international tourist arrivals in the first nine months of 2022 were still 80% below pre-pandemic levels. However, with the relaxation of travel restrictions in mid-2022, Indonesia hopes to lure back tourists.
