Indonesia's trade minister said the government will cut the combined maximum crude palm oil export tax and levy to $488 per tonne from $575 to encourage shipments. The move follows a recent export ban and aims to speed up slowed exports.
Lower export charges make Indonesian palm oil cheaper to ship abroad, increasing export supply and pressuring global vegetable oil prices, which also affects soybean oil and feedstock demand.
