# Indonesia’s CPO export levy hike will make Malaysian crude palm oil more competitive: Experts

> TA Securities says Indonesia's planned rise in its crude palm oil export levy to 10% would lift Indonesian CPO prices by about US$26.49 per tonne, widening its premium over Malaysian palm oil, which currently sits US$146.30 per tonne lower. SGS auditors say buyers, especially price-sensitive ones, may shift to Malaysia where export costs are lower.
