JAKARTA: Indonesia's ministry of economic affairs is set to discuss how the country will continue its ambitious biodiesel programme, a ministry official told Reuters on Wednesday.

The economic affairs ministry was scheduled to meet on Wednesday to decide the government's next moves to ensure the continuity of a mandate which requires biodiesel to have 30% bio-content (B30) made from palm.
