> Indonesia cut its crude palm oil export levy by 20% for November and also reduced the export duty, increasing exporters’ net proceeds at the stated reference price of about US$979 per tonne. The article says the B50 biodiesel mandate could absorb more palm oil domestically, while lower export charges could improve price competitiveness; the balance between those effects remains uncertain.
