Farmers Dismayed by Nugie’s Negative Campaign against Palm Oil

Farmers Dismayed by Nugie’s Negative Campaign against Palm Oil


The invitation was made by Nugie during the WWF-Indonesia #DoubleTigers Campaign at Senayan City Mall, Jakarta, last Saturday (July 30).


"If it's true and there's written proof, we will immediately report it to the police (Jakarta Police),” said Secretary General (Sekjen) of Apkasindo Asmar Arsjad, Monday (August 1).


According to Asmar, Nugie's actions are a reflection of a public figure who is not nationalistic.


“Don't be a provocateur to the people to be against palm oil. If he is against palm oil, from now on he shouldn't brush his teeth with toothpaste, don't shower with soap, don't shampoo his hair, don't eat chocolate, don't eat fried food, because they all use palm oil as a raw material,” said Asmar.


Asmar said that oil palm is a strategic national commodity that supports around 30 million people in Indonesia. In 2015, the export value of palm oil reached 18.64 billion US dollars.


Vice Chairman of Commission IV of the Indonesian Parliament, Herman Khaeron, said that Nugie's actions contradict the efforts made by the government.


The DPR and palm oil stakeholders in Indonesia are promoting the product overseas to convince the international community that Indonesian palm oil is produced in accordance with environmentally-friendly plantation practices. (Noverius Laoli)
