# Indonesian Palm Growers Ask Government to Cancel Domestic Matching Sales Policy

> Indonesian smallholder growers asked the government to cancel the domestic sales requirement introduced in late May. They say the policy blocks mills from selling stocks abroad and keeps fresh fruit bunch prices low. Prices had already collapsed about 70% after an earlier export ban.
