Petroleum demand for mining, general industry, also plantation continue to be strong in October/November 2021, with higher activity in Mining Industry and opening of the Economy subsequent to relaxation of covid restrictions. Based on current trends, AKRA is expected to reach its full year target with stable margin.

Demand for biodiesel is very strong due to higher commodity prices/economic activity. Bloomberg has quoted Energy Ministry that “Biodiesel consumption may exceed its allocation by 100,000 kiloliters from this year’s target of 9.2m kiloliters. Indonesia has consumed 7.66 kiloliters of biodiesel as of Nov. 9”. AKRA is a beneficiary of this strong demand, being the leading private sector company in the segment.

Chemical volumes continue to remain high in Q4 2021 and we expect to see increased demand. Volume growth YoY 2021 is expected to be in line with 9M 2021 volume growth which reached 22%.
