# Malaysia Holds 10% Palm Export Duty; Indonesia's B50 Push Draws Industry Caution

> Malaysia lowered its December crude palm oil reference price but kept the export duty rate at 10%. Indonesian growers' association GAPKI urged steady, predictable policy on the B50 biodiesel programme, and a new biodiesel plant was reported ready to support it.

## Why it matters

A lower reference price trims duty per tonne, slightly reducing landed cost of Malaysian palm. Indonesia's B50 biodiesel mandate, if implemented on schedule, would absorb more palm oil and support prices.
