Abstract

The palm oil industry has an essential and strategic role in the Indonesian economy. In addition to being a foreign exchange earner for Indonesia, it is also a driver of the people's economy that can absorb many workers. However, the palm oil industry was complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has also significantly impacted the income of oil palm farmers in Indonesia. Covid-19 also affects the government's strategy and policy model, especially regarding Indonesia's downstream of palm oil. This research is qualitative research that is library research. The research data is in the form of library data, especially books, and is equipped with other documents related to the downstream strategy and policy model for palm oil. Then the collected data is selected, presented, and analyzed using content analysis. The study results indicate that the government is continuing to develop palm oil processing businesses. One of the efforts made by the government to develop the palm oil industry is downstream palm oil. The development of the downstream industry (agro-industry) will be very strategic if it is carried out in an integrated and sustainable manner. This is because Indonesia is very rich in producing palm oil. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not pose a significant challenge; even the export value of palm products continued to increase. In 2020, the amount will reach US$ 22.97 billion, equivalent to IDR 321.5 trillion, growing 13.6% from 2019.
