Various utilizations of sago need to be explored to support the local bioeconomy. The paper aims to review bioeconomy documents in the regions where sago mostly grows, and its potential uses. A document review of the bioeconomy strategy and a literature review to investigate the benefits of sago were performed. Sago provides advantages beyond food diversification, addressing household food insecurity and health while also promoting local/regional bioeconomy through the development of food and non-food industries, e.g. bioenergy. Sago forest conservation and development of its high value-added commodities are supported by the studied bioeconomy documents.
