President Joko Widodo has just announced a ban on the export of crude palm oil (CPO) and its derivative products, including cooking oil. An Indikator survey shows that the public agrees with the cooking oil export ban.

The survey indicates that 66.3% of the public agree with the cooking oil export ban. This ban is to ensure domestic availability in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, 24.8% disagree with the export ban. Their reason is that the export ban could potentially cause shortages and price increases for the public.

The export ban on CPO and its derivatives began today (April 28, 2022). This announcement corrects the previous announcement which only banned the export of one CPO derivative product, namely refined, bleached, deodorized palm olein (RBDPO).

Now, not only RBDPO is banned. The export ban also includes CPO, red palm oil (RPO), palm oil mill effluent (POME), RBDPO, and used cooking oil.
