Absztrakt (kivonat)

This research explores how Indonesia perceives and responds to the European Union’s policies on palm oil from both economic and environmental standpoints. Specifically, to examine how the EU restrictions on palm oil affect Indonesia’s economy, mainly its national revenue, trade balance and employment in the palm oil sector, to explore Indonesia’s policy responses and strategies for mitigating these economic impacts, including export markets and domestic policy adjustments, to investigate EU sustainability concerns and Indonesia’s response, including its environmental policies towards palm oil, and to analyse Indonesia’s diplomatic efforts within international organisations such asthe WTO (World Trade Organization) to counteract the EU’s restrictive measures and to advocate for fair trade practices, and to assess the EU’s dependence on Indonesia palm oil and evaluate the EU’s alternatives products in case of Indonesian imposed an immediate and long term export ban on palm oil to the EU. The research utilises qualitative analysis, such as stakeholder interviews, to assess Indonesia’s economic strategies and environmental responses, and secondary data obtained from the Indonesian government and international sources, drawing from policy documents and trade reports, comprising several sources such as the Central Statistics Agency of Indonesia (BPS Indonesia), United Nations Trade Map, Eurostat database, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The results indicate that EU policies create substantial economic challenges for Indonesia’s palm oil industry, impacting Indonesia’s national revenue and employment. Additionally, the environmental arguments from the EU are contrasted with Indonesia’s sustainability efforts, highlighting diplomatic tensions. The study suggests that balancing economic priorities with environmental sustainability remains central to Indonesia’s approach to the EU’s policies, revealing a complex trade and environmental diplomacy landscape. This study faces limitations in potential gaps in environmental metrics, such as deforestation, which may overlook broader ecological impacts, limiting the scope, up-to-date sources that may be challenging to access, and findings specific to the EU & Indonesia context, which may not be widely applicable. Additionally, ongoing policy changes and diplomatic complexities could limit the study’s long-term relevance and depth of insights into Indonesia’s negotiation strategies.
