# Malaysia Cuts December CPO Reference Price, Holds 10% Duty | Palm Oil Economics

> Malaysia lowered its December crude palm oil reference price while keeping the export duty rate at 10%. Malaysian output was reported at 2.12 million tonnes in September, while exports fell 12.1% month on month and stocks reached a record; meanwhile, Indonesia’s biodiesel expansion and a projected fall in its export volumes were cited as factors that could tighten regional supply.
