Indonesia Dec crude palm oil exports to fall slightly -Reuters survey
Jan 22 (Reuters) – Indonesia’s crude palm oil (CPO) exports in December likely edged lower because of lower demand after an import tax hike started on edible oils in India, Indonesia’s biggest CPO importer, while output fell for a second month, a Reuters survey showed.
Exports of CPO from Indonesia, the world’s biggest palm oil producer, fell slightly to 2.51 million tonnes in December from 2.52 million in November, according to a median survey of two industry groups and a state palm oil research firm.
Shipments of the widely used vegetable oil are likely to decline after the import tax hike in India along with competition from Malaysia after it cut its palm oil export levy. to India fell and Malaysia CPO exports without levy would cause Indonesian palm to be under pressure,” said Sahat Sinaga, executive director of the Indonesia Vegetable Oil Association (GIMNI).
