# NGOs identify deforestation risks in Indonesian palm oil supply chains

> Three Indonesian environmental organizations filed complaints with 15 international companies over alleged problems in their palm oil supply chains, following research on plantations in Central Kalimantan. They reported indications of 2024 deforestation at one plantation and urged companies to verify supplier links and trace palm oil to plantation level; the groups did not establish that its output reached the EU market.

## Why it matters

Greater scrutiny and traceability demands could lead buyers to change suppliers or restrict sourcing, potentially shifting Indonesian palm oil trade flows and adding compliance costs. The report does not confirm a direct supply interruption or price effect.
