# Indonesian palm oil exports to China drop by half in January: GAPKI

> Indonesia's palm oil exports fell 35.6% in January 2020 to 2.39 million tonnes, according to GAPKI. Exports to China dropped 57%, or 381,000 tonnes. GAPKI attributed the decline partly to importers holding stocks while awaiting the B30 biodiesel mandate.

## Why it matters

Lower Indonesian export flows to China reduce global palm supply demand, though stocks held for B30 could support later buying.
