# Indonesia’s CPO Industry Still Looks Upbeat After Export Levy Hike

> Indonesian palm oil companies still expect an upbeat 2025 outlook after posting Q1 profit growth, despite the government's May 17 increase in the crude palm oil export levy from 7.5% to 10%. Kiwoom Sekuritas cited strong year-on-year profit gains at Sawit Sumbermas Sarana and Citra Borneo Utama. Export volumes had declined after the levy hike.

## Why it matters

The levy hike reduces exporter margins and export volumes, which can support domestic palm oil supply and firm prices. Resilient company profits suggest producers are absorbing the levy rather than cutting output.
