Indonesia Export Overhaul Could Tighten Palm Oil Supply and Lift Prices
Indonesia’s planned export overhaul is likely to reduce the volume of crude palm oil available to global buyers over time, even if domestic biodiesel capacity is sufficient to absorb the higher blending mandate. The Indonesian Palm Oil Association, GAPKI, says rising local consumption will progressively squeeze exportable supplies, a shift that could support palm oil prices and reshape trade flows across Asia.
