Indonesia’s palm oil sector recorded a strong performance in 2025, with exports of crude palm oil (CPO) and derivatives reaching US$24.42 billion, a 21.83% increase from the 2024 figure of US$20.05 billion. Export volume also rose 9.09% to 23.61 million tons. In December alone, palm oil shipments were valued at nearly US$2.8 billion, driven by a sharp 102.23% month‑to‑month surge in volume despite global prices falling 17.59% year‑on‑year. This robust export performance helped Indonesia maintain its positive trade surplus streak for the 68th consecutive month. Palm oil continued to bolster Indonesia’s trade relations, particularly with India, contributing US$3.56 billion to their bilateral surplus, while exports to the Philippines added US$990 million. President Prabowo highlighted the commodity’s strategic importance and global demand—spanning markets from Egypt to Russia—and defended restrictions on exporting palm oil residue and used cooking oil to secure supplies for biodiesel and aviation fuel. These measures support Indonesia’s B40 policy mandating a 40% palm oil‑based biodiesel blend, further reinforcing the commodity’s role in national energy strategy.Source: https://jakartaglobe.id/business/indonesias-export-of-highly-coveted-palm-oil-up-2183 (ICE GIACARTA)
