# Indonesia Waives Palm Oil Export Levy through 31 August 2022 - Media Biodiesel

> Indonesia set its palm oil export levy at zero from July 15 through Aug. 31, 2022, under Finance Minister Regulation 115/2022. The measure covered crude palm oil, processed products, biodiesel and used cooking oil, and was intended to speed exports and support farmers' fresh fruit bunch prices.

## Why it matters

The zero levy increases export competitiveness and reduces domestic palm inventories, supporting international palm oil prices through the summer. It did not change Indonesia's biodiesel mandate.
