The investor interest in the fatty acid industry has remained quite high. One reason for this is that the upstream industry, namely the oil-palm industry, which produces CPO and PKO, the basic materials for fatty acid, has been growing rapidly. Another reason is that the demand for fatty acid, which is categorized as an oleochemical product, has also continued to grow.

For the past two years (1995-October 1996), according to data with Data Consult, at least 11 fatty acid projects have been approved by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), of which ten are new projects and the ...
