Indonesia Simplifies Palm Oil Export Levies in Response to Decreasing CPO Exports

ID2024-0025 – Published on October 1, 2024

Indonesia introduced a new, simplified set of export levies for palm oil products, effective September 21, 2024, amidst decreasing crude palm oil (CPO) exports due to competition from other edible oils. Most of the new levies for palm oil exports will be reduced to between 3 percent to 7.5 percent of the reference price which the Government of Indonesia sets monthly. Under the new set of levies, the export levy for waste product palm oil mill effluent (POME) is expected to increase to be on par with the levy for CPO. In addition, the export levy for used cooking oil (UCO) would also increase.
