# Indonesia to reinstate $50 palm oil export levy from January 1  : The Daily Digest

> Indonesia's Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency expects to reinstate the $50 per metric ton export levy on palm oil from January 1. The reference price for January rises $80 to $729.72 from December's $650.18. A lower levy will also apply to downstream palm products, and collection had been suspended since March 1 due to low prices.

## Why it matters

Reinstating the levy adds an export cost to Indonesian palm oil, which can lift offshore palm prices and shift demand toward soybean oil and meal. The levy funds biodiesel subsidies that support domestic use under the B30 mandate.
