Indonesia's Finance Ministry says the CPO export levy increase takes effect May 17, 2025 under PMK 30/2025, with proceeds funding plantation replanting and the biodiesel mandate. The ministry says the move aims to support farmers and build domestic demand.
The levy increase channels revenue into biodiesel demand, supporting domestic palm oil use, but raises export costs and could pressure farm-gate prices.
