Indonesian Palm Oil Conference

What Indonesian Palm Oil Conference does

The Indonesian Palm Oil Conference (IPOC) is an annual three-day industry forum organized by GAPKI (Gabungan Pengusaha Kelapa Sawit Indonesia), the Indonesian Palm Oil Association founded in 1981. Now in its 22nd edition, IPOC 2026 is scheduled for 11-13 November 2026 at the Bali International Convention Centre and brings together more than 1,500 delegates from over 20 countries spanning palm oil producers, commodity traders, policymakers, financial analysts, sustainability professionals, logistics operators, agritech providers, and academics. The event programme centres on global supply-demand outlooks, the annual CPO price forecast for 2027, sustainability regulations (including EUDR), and geopolitical trade dynamics, supplemented by a Welcome Cocktail Reception, Networking Night, Business Golf Tournament at New Kuta Golf, and a three-day exhibition of technology and service providers.

IPOC's core product set comprises the main conference programme, an exhibition with shell-scheme booths, social/networking components (cocktail reception, networking night, golf tournament), and supporting services including an online networking platform, shuttle bus logistics, and hotel reservation partnerships with four Nusa Dua properties. The technology layer is intentionally thin: a website-based registration system, a closed online networking messaging platform for paid delegates, and Midtrans payment gateway integration supporting Indonesian digital payment rails (QRIS, GoPay, virtual accounts at BCA/Mandiri/Permata/BNI). No proprietary software platforms, AI/ML systems, or data products are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: tiered conference registration (IDR 6-10M / USD 600-800 depending on member status and timing), corporate sponsorship packages spanning seven tiers (Silver IDR 125M to Titanium IDR 1B) plus event-specific sponsorships, exhibition booth rentals, and ancillary fees from the golf tournament and partner hotels. IPOC is operationally managed through PT Sarana Komunikasi Sawit Indonesia and wholly controlled by GAPKI as a member-driven industry association; there is no external ownership or disclosed funding.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Argus Media: Argus Media is a leading commodity pricing and market intelligence provider that runs industry conferences (including vegetable oils and biofuels) globally. As a current IPOC media partner it also sits adjacent as a potential standalone competitor for content-led industry events.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights (events division): S&P Global Commodity Insights (formerly Platts) operates a global portfolio of commodity conferences across oils, agricultural, and energy markets. While not exclusively focused on palm oil, its events compete for the same senior delegate pool and sponsor budgets.
• Fastmarkets (events division): Fastmarkets (formerly Fastmarkets AMM / Metal Bulletin) operates commodity conferences spanning agricultural soft commodities and biofuels, providing alternative venues for international buyers, traders, and analysts who might otherwise attend IPOC.

Direct peers

• Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC): MPOC is Malaysia's national palm oil promotion body and runs its own industry events and market engagement programmes. It competes with GAPKI for regional influence over palm oil discourse and runs forums directly comparable in audience and intent to IPOC.
• Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC): CPOPC is the intergovernmental body for major palm oil producing nations and convenes ministerial- and industry-level meetings that partially substitute for IPOC's policy and international-buyer engagement role, particularly around sustainability and trade coordination.
• International Palm Oil Congress (PIPOC) — organised by MPOB: PIPOC is the Malaysian counterpart to IPOC, organised by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), the government agency for Malaysia's palm oil industry. It is the most direct competitor for global palm oil stakeholder attention and is held on a triennial cycle in Malaysia, drawing a comparable mix of producers, traders, and policymakers.
• Globoil India: Globoil is one of the largest annual edible oils and oilseeds conferences, held in India — the world's largest importer of palm oil. It attracts a comparable mix of producers, traders and buyers and competes directly for international sponsor mindshare in the vegetable oils value chain.
• Centre for Management Technology (CMT): CMT runs a portfolio of paid industry conferences across palm oil, oleochemicals, biodiesel, and agri-commodities in Asia. Its palm oil- and sustainability-themed events are highly comparable in audience composition and sponsor base to IPOC.

Regional players

• Hardman & Co (commodity research): Hardman & Co produces Africa-focused commodity research and convenes small-format industry events for soft commodities. It is an adjacent, regional comparator rather than a direct competitor, but targets a similar producer–trader–investor ecosystem in emerging-market commodities.
• Bursa Malaysia (Derivatives — FCPO): Bursa Malaysia operates the crude palm oil futures contract (FCPO), the global benchmark for palm oil pricing. It runs industry events around its derivatives complex that overlap with IPOC's market-outlook and trading audience in Malaysia rather than Indonesia.
