Palm oil export levy
The palm oil export levy is a charge on exports of CPO and derivatives managed by BPDP; the CPO rate is 12.5% of the reference price under PMK 9/2026, and 7.25% for FAME biodiesel.
Rates are set in the Finance Ministerial Regulation (PMK) on BPDP service tariffs. The CPO rate rose from 7.5% to 10% on 17 May 2025 (PMK 30/2025), then to 12.5% under PMK 9/2026 (effective 1 March 2026). For October 2026 the CPO levy equals US$130.269 per MT.
The money funds the biodiesel incentive, so the mandate does not draw on the state budget. The levy is calculated from the reference price and differs from export duty, which goes to state revenue.
