InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – The Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDP) has completed the finalization of its organizational structure, allowing the resumption of operational activities related to the disbursement and return of funds for Palm Oil Rejuvenation (PPKS) and Palm Oil Infrastructure (SPPKS). This decision ends the temporary suspension of operations, which had previously raised concerns among palm oil farmers.
In an official letter, BPDP No. S-568/DPKS.3/2025, it was stated that the previous letter regarding the temporary suspension of PPKS and SPPKS fund disbursement, issued on January 14, 2025, with number S-246/DPKS.3/2025, is no longer valid. This means that all transactions can resume according to the applicable mechanisms.
“Previously, palm oil farmers felt anxious due to the temporary suspension of rejuvenation and infrastructure fund disbursement due to structural changes at BPDP,” noted the BPDP, as reported by InfoSAWIT on Tuesday (January 21, 2025).
The structural changes at BPDP are expected to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in managing plantation funds, ensuring that these programs can run smoothly to support the sustainability of the palm oil industry in Indonesia. (T2)
