# Indonesia sets 3-month transition period for B50 biodiesel programme, official says

> Indonesia has issued a regulation implementing its B50 biodiesel mandate from July 1, with a three-month transition period for smaller retailers to clear existing stocks. Under the mandate, all gasoil sold must contain 50% palm-based diesel. The programme responds to oil supply disruptions that followed attacks on Iran.

## Why it matters

The regulation confirms the timeline for a large increase in palm-based diesel demand, which tightens palm oil supply for food and export use. The transition period may cushion the immediate effect on demand.
