The Minister of Finance's Regulation No. 30 of 2025 concerning the Service Tariffs of the General Service Agency for Plantation Fund Management at the Ministry of Finance stipulates the adjustment of the crude palm oil export levy rate to 10%, an increase from the previous rate of 7.5%. This regulation was promulgated on 14 May 2024 and took effect on 17 May 2025. Export levy rates for processed CPO products vary from 4.75% to 9.5%. Amendments to export levy rates for CPO and its derivative products are intended to enhance plantation productivity and provide added value to downstream products at the farm level. The CPO export levy is part of the funding for the government's downstream palm oil programme, namely biodiesel. Furthermore, the adjustment of the levy is expected to generate increased income for the Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDP), as a provider of funds in the replanting programme (PSR), to enhance the performance of the palm oil sector.
