Inovasi Digital at POC2026: Advancing Traceability and Compliance in the Global Edible Oils Industry
Inovasi Digital was pleased to participate in the 37th Palm & Lauric Oils Price Outlook Conference & Exhibition (POC2026), held from 9–11 February 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As one of the most influential gatherings in the global edible oils calendar, POC2026 brought together a diverse range of stakeholders—from traders and refiners to FMCG companies and supply chain actors—creating a valuable platform for dialogue, collaboration, and forward-looking discussions on industry developments.
Engaging with Industry Stakeholders Across the Value Chain
Throughout the three-day event, our team had the opportunity to connect with key players across the palm oil ecosystem. The conversations reflected a shared urgency among industry participants to navigate an increasingly complex landscape shaped by evolving regulations, heightened sustainability expectations, and growing demand for supply chain transparency.
POC2026 reaffirmed the importance of collaboration across the value chain, as stakeholders continue to seek practical, scalable solutions to address both compliance requirements and operational challenges.
Showcasing Digital Solutions for Traceability and Compliance
At our exhibition booth, Inovasi Digital presented its full suite of digital solutions designed to support companies in building transparent, compliant, and sustainable supply chains.
Our solutions focus on enabling:
- End-to-end traceability, from plantation to downstream operations
- Regulatory compliance, particularly in response to frameworks such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)
- Supplier mapping and risk monitoring, helping companies gain clearer visibility into their sourcing networks
- Data-driven decision-making, through centralized and structured supply chain information
Visitors to our booth explored how digitalization can simplify complex processes, transforming fragmented data into actionable insights and helping organizations move from reactive compliance to proactive supply chain management.
Key Industry Themes: From Compliance to Practical Implementation
Discussions at POC2026 highlighted several recurring themes shaping the future of the edible oils industry:
- EUDR readiness: Many stakeholders are actively preparing for compliance, yet face challenges in aligning internal systems, collecting accurate geolocation data, and ensuring supplier readiness.
- Traceability gaps: Achieving full traceability remains a significant hurdle, particularly for companies sourcing from complex, multi-tier supply bases.
- Supplier mapping challenges: Understanding and verifying supplier networks continues to be resource-intensive, especially in regions with fragmented smallholder participation.
- Operational realities: Beyond regulatory requirements, companies are seeking solutions that are not only compliant but also practical, scalable, and adaptable to real-world conditions.
These conversations provided valuable insight into the day-to-day challenges faced by industry actors, reinforcing the need for solutions that bridge the gap between regulatory expectations and on-the-ground implementation.
