Indonesia's trade minister issued Regulation No.199/2024 on February 27, cutting the crude palm oil export duty from US$18/MT to US$3/MT. The temporary reduction takes effect March 1 and is set to be revoked on March 31, 2024.
A sharp cut in the export duty makes Indonesian palm oil cheaper for overseas buyers, likely boosting export demand and weighing on global palm oil prices in March.
