Indonesia's government stated on September 10 that export duties on palm oil and other agricultural products are meant to protect domestic supply and stabilise prices, not to hinder exports. Palm oil, CPO and derivatives are among the few commodities subject to export duty under current rules.
The export duty regime limits Indonesian palm oil export competitiveness and supports international palm prices, while signalling continued use of levies to secure domestic biodiesel and food supply.
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.
