InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – Ministry of Trade through its representative in Saudi Arabia, gets more intensive to struggle for its mainstay products, such as, palm cooking oil and its derivatives.

By the late of May 2023, Ministry of Trade through Trade Attache in Riyadh did track to escalate exports by meeting palm cooking oil exporters in Saudi Arabia, Wadina, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The result was that the company wanted to get palm cooking oil products from Indonesia, particularly CP (Cloud Point)4, CP8, and CP10 that would reach 200 — 300 tons.

CP4 is kind of palm cooking oil that was filtered for more than once. The color is much pure than ordinary one. This kind of palm cooking oil could last longer in cold temperature and it gets frozen.
