InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA — Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) is testing a digital platform called National Data Intelligence (NADI) as part of efforts to improve governance and transparency in Indonesia’s strategic commodity exports, including palm oil.
The pilot brings together industry associations and government institutions to test processes, gather feedback and refine the system before further development. In a statement received by InfoSAWIT on Saturday, October 3, 2026, DSI said the initiative was designed to support a more integrated export ecosystem.
Six industry associations are participating in the pilot: the Indonesian Coal Mining Association (APBI-ICMA), the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI), the Indonesian Vegetable Oil Industry Association (GIMNI), the Indonesian Oleochemical Producers Association (FINI), the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) and the Indonesian Mining Association (IMA).
Government participants include the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Finance, Customs and Excise, the National Logistics Ecosystem (LNSW), the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and Bank Indonesia.
DSI Finance and Treasury Director Sinthya Roesly said the pilot phase would provide an opportunity for participants to offer feedback, test workflows together and identify areas requiring improvement.
The involvement of industry associations is also intended to ensure that the platform reflects the needs of businesses operating across different commodity sectors.
GIMNI representative Paulus Edwin Gunawan Sutanto said structured analyses, reference data and pricing methodologies could help support trade governance. Meanwhile, APBI-ICMA Chairman Priyadi welcomed the initiative, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in commodity exports.
DSI has also appointed Daniel Lim as an agribusiness adviser. Lim brings 29 years of experience in the palm oil industry in Indonesia and Malaysia, adding sector-specific expertise to the platform’s development.
Through NADI, DSI aims to establish a more transparent and connected framework for export-related information and processes. The pilot will help participants assess how the system can be refined to support coordination among businesses and government agencies.
For Indonesia’s palm oil industry, the initiative comes as export governance and data transparency remain important issues for market participants. The platform’s effectiveness will depend on how well it integrates information, supports practical workflows and meets the requirements of the institutions involved. (T2)
