Indonesia's Ministry of Trade set the April 1-30, 2026 crude palm oil reference price at USD 989.63 per tonne, up 5.41% from March. The export duty was set at USD 148 per tonne and the export levy at USD 123.7 per tonne, 12.5% of the reference price.
Higher export duties and levies raise the cost of Indonesian palm exports, supporting the Malaysian and global palm price discount and tightening effective supply. The increase reflects firmer global demand and crude-driven prices.
After 548 past bullish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -0.7% to +2.1%), and +0.9% over 20.
