Indonesia's Ministry of Trade set November 2026 crude palm oil export duty at US$124 per tonne and the export levy at US$122.36 per tonne, a combined US$246.36 per tonne. The cut follows a 6.07% fall in the monthly reference price to US$978.90 per tonne, based on prices from September 20 to October 19.
Lower export charges reduce Indonesian export costs and can support regional trade flows, but the lower reference price signals softer international palm oil prices. Buyers in India, China and Pakistan may see lower landed costs, though overall price direction depends on the decline in market prices.
