There is a significant gap between the total area of palm oil permits (18.8 million hectares) and actual palm oil cover (10.1 million hectares) as of 2022. Many companies still do not hold Land Use Rights (HGU) despite already having established palm oil plantations.

There is a potential loss of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) of up to IDR 191 billion in Riau and IDR 680 billion in West Kalimantan (2019–2020 period), equivalent to funding for essential development programs such as village fund allocations and smallholder palm oil replanting.

Within corporate palm oil concession areas, there are still around 3.1 million hectares of natural forests. If these forests are preserved, their carbon economic value could reach approximately IDR 76 trillion.
