# Indonesia's palm oil exports to decline amid rising domestic demand for biodiesel I I Bioenergy Business

> Indonesia's palm oil exports are projected to fall by about 2 million tonnes in 2024 as domestic biodiesel consumption rises under a higher blending mandate. Domestic consumption is forecast to reach a record 24.2 million tonnes, while production is expected to drop by 1 million tonnes. First-half exports were already down 7.6% year on year.
