> Indonesia expects palm oil export levy collections to rise about 31% in 2026 versus 2025, to 41.22 trillion rupiah. Collections in the first seven months reached 27.81 trillion rupiah, 73.3% higher year on year. The increase follows a hike in the crude palm oil export levy to 12.5% from 10% in March.

## Why it matters

Higher levy income reflects a higher export charge on Indonesian palm oil, which weighs on Indonesian export competitiveness and can marginally support the Malaysian export position. The plantation fund's projected surplus suggests the levy is not an immediate supply shock.
