# Indonesia Curbing Palm Waste Exports – Discouraging CPO Mixture Practices – USDA Indonesia

> 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.

## Why it matters
