Indonesia is the biggest producer of palm oil in the world, and it provides half of the world’s supply.

(Indonesia adalah produsen minyak sawit terbesar di dunia, dan mengisi setengah pasokan dunia.)

Indonesians use palm oil for cooking, but due to a worldwide increase of food prices, palm oil is becoming more expensive. The country decided to ban the export of palm oil, and experts said that this action would likely increase global prices. Indonesia’s president said that he wanted to make sure that people in his own country had enough food.

(Warga Indonesia menggunakan minyak sawit untuk memasak, tetapi karena meningkatnya harga bahan makanan di seluruh dunia, minyak sawit semakin mahal. Negeri ini memutuskan untuk melarang ekspor minyak sawit, dan para ahli mengatakan bahwa aksi ini sepertinya akan menaikkan harga di dunia. Presiden Indonesia mengatakan bahwa dia ingin memastikan warganya memiliki makanan yang cukup.)

Also, in 2018, Indonesia made it impossible to make new palm oil farms. This law was an important step, as palm oil farms destroyed forests and many animals died.

(Tahun 2018, Indonesia juga tidak mengijinkan pembukaan lahan sawit baru. Undang-undang ini merupakan langkah penting, karena lahan sawit menghancurkan hutan dan banyak hewan mati.)

Kata-kata sulit: producer (produsen), supply (memasok), export (ekspor).
