Indonesia enacted a January 2025 regulation curbing exports of palm waste products, which it says have exceeded reasonable capacity. The measure aims to secure feedstock for domestic cooking oil and biofuel production and to stop CPO being blended with waste exports to avoid the earlier higher export levy.
Restricting waste-based feedstock exports tightens global supply of waste oils used in biodiesel and redirects demand toward palm oil, supporting vegetable oil prices.
