CPO Export Levy Hikes to 10%, What’s Next for SIMP and LSIP Stocks?

Bisnis.com, JAKARTA — The government has officially raised the export levy (PE) on crude palm oil (CPO) and its derivatives from 7.5% to 10%, effective 17 May 2025.

While this move is expected to boost state revenue from Indonesia’s flagship commodity, it is also anticipated to increase export costs, raising concerns that it could undermine the competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil in the global market.
