# Indonesia develops palm oil tracing system as it prepares for new EU rules, official says

> Indonesia is developing a digital traceability system, SI ISPO, for its sustainable-certified palm oil exports, tracing product from plantations and smallholders through mills and exporters. The system is being built to meet the EU Deforestation Regulation, which takes effect December 31 and requires proof that commodities were not grown on deforested land.

## Why it matters

EUDR compliance could restrict or slow palm oil shipments to the EU, the fourth-largest market for Indonesian exports, and raise compliance costs for producers. A credible traceability system reduces the risk of supply disruption, which is a modest supportive factor for palm oil prices.
