Indonesia's trade minister said the palm oil export levy waiver was extended to October 31, with a maximum $240 per tonne levy for crude palm oil previously due in September now postponed. Inventories stood at 6.68 million tonnes at end-June, far above levels at end-2021, and exports have remained slow.
Large Indonesian stocks and slow exports point to ample palm supply, which pressures palm oil prices and competing vegetable oils.
