# As India, EU may increase duties, Indonesia eyes China for palm oil export

> Indonesia is seeking to expand crude palm oil exports to China after India and the EU, citing a likely Indian duty increase and an EU biofuel phase-out. China has removed palm oil from its import tariff quota management, which Indonesia welcomed. Indonesia says it will raise yields rather than clear more forest to meet the demand.

## Why it matters

Redirecting Indonesian exports toward China could ease pressure from potential Indian duties and EU biofuel cuts, supporting palm oil demand. Lower tariff-quota constraints in China could widen import flows and support prices.
