The Partnership and BPPT hosted the inaugural Integrated Cattle and Oil Palm Production (ICOP) Conference in Jakarta in late October 2019. The conference was the first forum between Indonesia and Australia that specifically discussed the integration of cattle and oil palm production (otherwise known as SISKA), including the commercial opportunities, the day-to-day operational issues, and the inherent challenges of the business model.
ICOP 2019 was attended by over 240 participants and involved more than 20 speakers and research reviewers, including international players from Malaysia, Australia and Papua New Guinea.
