Besarnya konsumi minyak sawit Pakistan menjadikan negara ini sebagai salah satu negara tujuan ekspor utama produk sawit Indonesia. Populasi penduduk yang besar, meningkatnya daya beli masyarakat dan pergeseran selera menjadi faktor yang mendorong besarnya konsumsi minyak sawit Pakistan, bahkan diperkirakan akan terus meningkat kedepannya.
Sejak diimplementasikan IP-FTA tahun 2013, ekspor sawit Indonesia ke Pakistan terus mengalami peningkatan hingga berhasil menggeser dominasi Malaysia sebagai eksportir utama pasar sawit di negara tersebut. Meskipun mengalami hambatan berupa rekomendasi PFA yang melarang konsumsi Vanasphati Ghee dari minyak sawit, namun kinerja ekspor sawit Indonesia tetap tinggi. Bahkan di masa pandemi dan resesi ekonomi global seperti saat ini, kinerja ekspor sawit khususnya produk RPO Indonesia ke Pakistan mencapai 1.82 juta ton dengan nilai ekspor sebesar USD 1.14 miliar, atau lebih tinggi dibandingkan periode yang sama tahun 2019.
Pengembangan hub dan liberalisasi perdagangan juga mampu memberikan manfaat ekonomi yang lebih besar seperti devisa ekspor, GDP riil dan kesejahteraan yang dapat dirasakan oleh Indonesia, Pakistan dan negara kawasan lain yang terlibat dalam perdagangan sawit tersebut. Oleh karena itu, perlu segera dibangun hub melalui pengembangan Joint Venture antara pelaku bisnis Indonesia dan Pakistan dengan melaksanakan tiga opsi investasi yaitu pembangunan storage, industi refenery atau industri hilir yang berlokasi di Gwadar atau Karachi.
Pakistan’s large palm oil consumption makes this country become one of the main export destinations for Indonesian palm products. The large population, increasing purchasing power and shifting tastes are factors that drive the large consumption of Pakistani palm oil, and are even expected to continue to increase in the future.
Since the implementation of the IP-FTA in 2013, Indonesia’s palm oil exports to Pakistan have continued to increase until it has succeeded in shifting the dominance of Malaysia as the main exporter of the palm oil market in that country. Although facing obstacles in the form of a PFA’s recommendation that prohibits the consumption of Vanasphati Ghee from palm oil, but Indonesia’s palm oil export performance remains high. Even in the current pandemic and global economic recession, Indonesian export performance of palm oil especially RPO products to Pakistan, reached 1.82 million tons with an export value of USD 1.14 billion, or higher than the same period in 2019.
The development of hubs and trade liberalization are also able to provide greater economic benefits such as export foreign exchange, real GDP, and welfare that can be felt by Indonesia, Pakistan, and other regional countries that are involved in the palm oil trade. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately build a hub through the development of a Joint Venture between Indonesian and Pakistani business actors by implementing three investment options, namely the development of storage, industrial refinery, or downstream industries which located in Gwadar or Karachi.
