Pekanbaru - Trends state investors of crude palm oil (crude palm oil / CPO) in Riau Province has shifted from initially coming from Asia and Southeast Asia into the European region.

Head Plantation Riau Zulher said investors from Finland, Belgium, and Germany will visit Earth in the near future Lancang Kuning for surveying palm oil plantation.

Investments made plans from upstream to downstream.

"Actually, they already want to come this month, but we're preoccupied with karhutla. They will explore the local plantation companies associated with the land, the availability of palm oil as a raw material, and infrastructure, "said Zulher to Business, Thursday (03/04/2014).

He believes the investment objectives of the Western countries are targeting the management of renewable energy sources.

Although CPO always get a negative campaign, but the most effective fuel.

The three countries, he added, could not mention the value of each investment to be spent because it is still in the exploratory stage.

However, communication remains intensely woven by Riau Plantation Office.

Zulher reveals there are still some obstacles that could reduce investor interest.

First, the lack of availability of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) as a CPO because many local companies that have been contracted for export.

Second, related to the port infrastructure, roads, and telecommunications networks.


Volume of traffic in Dumai port makes employers can queue up to one month.

If utilizing the nearest port as the Port of Buton, still constrained by the length of the pier.

Ideally quay length reaches 200 meters, but in the Port of Buton is only about 100 meters.

In addition, TBS is a perishable product (non-durable goods), with a maximum limit of 24 hours.

Poor quality of roads make deliveries of raw materials to be processed into CPO inhibited.

"As a result, TBS will be decreased and the quality of the resulting product is not good," he said.
