The palm oil sector made an extraordinary contribution to state revenue by depositing IDR 22 trillion in export duties during 2025. This achievement was the primary driver of the total national export duty revenue, which reached IDR 28.44 trillion in the same year. The surge in deposits from palm products experienced rapid growth of up to 130.3% compared to the previous year’s period. This proves that the palm oil industry remains a vital backbone in supporting the country's fiscal income.

The significant increase in export duty deposits was triggered by the strengthening trend of crude palm oil (CPO) prices in the global market throughout 2025. Data shows that the average CPO price increased by approximately 2% compared to 2024, which automatically raised the value of export levies collected by the state. For industry players, these figures emphasize the importance of maintaining national production stability amidst international price fluctuations. Through this substantial contribution, the palm oil sector is expected to receive continued policy support to strengthen Indonesia's export competitiveness in 2026.
