“The current increase in CPO HR exceeds the threshold of USD 680 per MT. Therefore, in accordance with the applicable regulations, the government will set BK CPO at USD 52 per MT and PE CPO at USD 90 per MT for April 2024 period,” said Director General of Foreign Trade of Ministry of Trade, Budi Santoso, quoting from the release received by Palmoilmagazine.com.

The determination of CPO HR is based on the average price during the period of February 25 to March 24, 2024, with the price of USD 830.85 per MT in Indonesia CPO Exchange, USD 884.39 per MT in Malaysia CPO Exchange, and USD 971.60 per MT in Rotterdam CPO Auction Market. In accordance with MOT 46/2002, if the average price difference between the three price sources exceeds USD 40, the CPO HR is calculated based on the average of the two median price sources, namely the Malaysian CPO Exchange and the Indonesian CPO Exchange.

Budi explained that the increase in CPO HR was influenced by several factors, including an increase in vegetable oil prices in China and the United States, fluctuations in the Rupiah and Ringgit exchange rates against the US Dollar, increased demand for biodiesel, and a decline in production in Indonesia.

In addition, cooking oil (Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized/RBD palm olein) in branded packaging and net weight ≤ 25 kg will be subject to export duty (BK) of USD 0 per MT in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Trade Number 417 of 2024 concerning List of Brands of Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized (RBD) Palm Olein in Branded Packaging and Net Weight of 25 Kg.
