# Malaysia poised to gain as Indonesia likely to cut palm oil exports, says MPOC | Malay Mail

> Malaysia's palm oil council says Malaysia may gain export share as Indonesia's B50 biodiesel mandate, launched recently, diverts more Indonesian palm oil to domestic use. The council estimates B50 needs about three million extra tonnes of palm oil annually, equal to 52% of Indonesia's 2025 output.

## Why it matters

Lower Indonesian export availability tightens global palm oil supply and could lift prices, though competition from soybean oil will cap the effect.
