NUSA DUA, Indonesia, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Indonesia's strategy to raise the obligatory palm oil of biodiesel to 40% next year from 35% will need extra feedstock supply of around 3 million metric lots, a senior Indonesia Palm Oil Association (GAPKI) official stated on Friday.

Indonesia's unrefined palm oil output is seen at 48 million metric lots in 2024, down 4% from in 2015, but is expected to rise to 50 million in 2025, GAPKI advisory board member Joko Supriyono told the Indonesia Palm Oil Conference in Bali.
