West Papua and the Sweet Taste of Murder (Counterpunch)

The total area of Indonesian palm oil cultivation is about 25 million hectare.

In West Papua this destructive extractivism also entails violent social change for the country’s Indigenous peoples.

CounterPunch.org · West Papua and the Sweet Taste of MurderIn its increasingly militarised torture mode of governance, the Indonesian regime—now headed by Prabowo Subianto, notorious for his war crimes in East Timor—is the world’s biggest palm oil exporter, to the tune of 47 million tonnes of crude palm oil in 2023, and 54% of global exports. The industry accounts for 4.5% of Indonesian GDP and directly or indirectly employs 16.2 million people. The total area of Indonesian palm oil cultivation is about 25 million hectares (out of 29 million hectares globally, which amounts to approximately 6.7% of the size of the European Union), and plantations covering many million more hectares are planned. In 2023, industrial oil palm plantations in Indonesia expanded by 116,000 hectares, a 54% increase compared with 2022.
