Indonesia's Ministry of Finance revised palm oil export levy rates under PMK No. 9/2026, amending PMK 69/2025 on BPDP service tariffs. The change follows a steering committee decision and aims to fund replanting and the mandatory biodiesel programme.
Levy changes that fund biodiesel expansion tie domestic palm demand to the export levy structure, shaping the balance between Indonesian exports and biofuel use that drives world palm oil prices.
