Domestic Issue
Exemption of CPO Export Levy until December. The government plans to extend the exemption from crude palm oil (CPO) export levies and reduce it until December 2022. A number of opinions say that this policy can maintain the price of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) at the level of oil palm farmers. This policy will also help reduce the burden on oil palm entrepreneurs so they can buy smallholder FFB at competitive prices. For the record, with zero export levies, local prices can still stay at the level of IDR 10,500 – 11,000 per kg. (Kontan)
Recommendation
Cadev data closed the market over the weekend.

Production cuts reduce global crude oil inventories, resulting in an increase in fuel prices which in turn adds to the burden of inflation.
