# Malaysia-focused planters to outperform Indonesia-based peers, say analysts

> Analysts expect Malaysia-focused planters to outperform Indonesia-focused peers, citing Malaysia's lower 9.5% crude palm oil export levy versus Indonesia's 12.5%. They also point to the weaker rupiah and Indonesian land confiscations and fines as valuation risks. Higher CPO prices, up over 14% since the war began, are described as the dominant driver.

## Why it matters

A higher Indonesian export levy and rising CPO prices support palm oil values, while Indonesian operational and currency risks weigh on plantation earnings. Feed buyers should expect firmer palm-based input costs.
