  • What is the ‘crude palm oil production’ sector?
  • This study performed sectoral disaggregation to obtain the new commodity sector for PO and PKO, which we referred to as the ¡°crude palm oil production¡± sector from crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities. In addition, a hybrid (quantitative and monetary) model based on the WIOD was also compiled.
