Join us online or on-site at Business Finland office for a roundtable setup event and learn more about the forestry and palm oil industry in these two South East Asian countries. The production is growing and sustainability has become a major topic in both countries with abundance of opportunities and possibilities.
Participate in the brainstorming session for a discussion on how Finnish expertise and capabilities are crucial in co-developing well-needed solutions for forestry and palm oil industries in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Global forest and agriculture sector has increased during the past decade, but relatively most positive trends have been in Asia along with Europe and South America. South East Asia’s forests are some of the most biodiverse in the world, hosting four of the world’s 25 biodiversity hotspots. Being increasingly aware of the importance of biodiversity protection and balanced development, significant efforts are being made by Malaysia and Indonesia to protect forests and to make timber and palm oil production more sustainable.
The industry is going through an extensive transformation, with inventory, harvesting and management all going digital and data-driven. The new optimized, demand-based inventory and harvesting methods enhance procurement and harvesting work and efficiency in both use of material and equipment usage. With a focus on the palm oil industry and smart forestry, advanced technologies such as satellites, precision agriculture, sensors, and monitoring systems are being developed and implemented to enhance efficiency, productivity, and environmental sustainability.
