# Indonesia announces state body to oversee palm oil exports; market seeks clarity on implementation - Fastmarkets

> Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto announced a state-owned entity, PT Danantara Sumber Daya Indonesia (DSI), to oversee exports of palm oil, coal and other strategic resources. Under a two-phase plan, private exporters must transfer overseas contracts to DSI from June 1 to August 31, and from September 1 DSI would become the sole counterparty to overseas buyers. Industry participants said they need clarity on export pricing and administration.

## Why it matters
