JAKARTA: Indonesia reduced its export levy on palm oil in a bid to boost shipments of the tropical commodity.
The world’s biggest grower set the crude palm oil levy at 7.5% of the reference price, according to a decree posted on the finance ministry’s website. The new rule, effective from Sunday (Sept 22), will cut the duty to US$63 per tonne from $90 for September. The levy for processed palm products will be between 3% and 6%.
