RHB Research says Malaysia's competitiveness in downstream palm oil products will fall because of Indonesia's fixed 7.5% CPO export tax, which replaced a graduated scale in September 2024. The change lets Indonesian planters capture higher effective CPO prices.
Domestic market obligation price revisions are also expected to support Indonesian planter selling prices.
Shifts in relative export taxes can redirect downstream palm oil trade from Malaysia to Indonesia, changing regional export flows and palm oil price relationships.
