💨 Abstract

Indonesian authorities have given over more land from seized illegal palm plantations to a new state company, Agrinas Palma Nusantara, as part of efforts to improve the palm oil industry's global image. This follows an anti-corruption drive launched this year amid criticism of palm oil plantations as major drivers of deforestation. The handover includes 216,997 hectares of plantation areas from 109 companies.
