The Edible Oils & Fats (EOF) Division produces palm oil products, margarine and palm-based derivatives (RBD palm stearin and palm fatty acid distillate) for consumer and industrial markets. The Division operates five refineries with a total annual processing capacity of 1.7 million tonnes of CPO.

The consumer cooking oils are retailed under Bimoli, Bimoli Spesial and Happy, while the margarines are sold under Amanda, Palmia and Royal Palmia. The industrial cooking oils are supplied directly to Indofood and other food manufacturers, while the margarine and shortening products are marketed to confectioneries, bakeries and food manufacturers under Amanda, Delima, Malinda, Palmia and Simas.

Sales and distribution of EOF products are supported by Indofood’s Distribution Group, which has an extensive network across Indonesia. More than 80% of EOF products are sold domestically, with the rest exported to countries across Asia, Africa, America and the Middle East.

The R&D team supported the EOF Division by enhancing the nutritional content of cooking oils and margarines to better meet the dietary needs of Indonesian consumers. Notable achievements included tailored cooking oil formulations for industrial users, multivitamin-enriched margarines for households, and the innovation of smarter packaging designs using more environmentally friendly materials.
