Indonesia to ban palm oil exports to tackle domestic shortage

JAKARTA: Indonesia will ban exports of palm oil starting next week, its president said Friday, as the world's biggest producer faces a shortage of cooking oil made from the product.
 
The Southeast Asian archipelago has been running low on palm-based cooking oil since November as producers turn to exports to cash in on an increase in prices around the world.
 
Authorities now fear the scarcity and soaring prices could provoke social tensions and have moved to secure supplies.
 
"The government will prohibit the export of raw materials for cooking oil and cooking oil itself... until a deadline to be determined later," President Joko Widodo said in a statement. 
 
"I will continue to monitor and evaluate the implementation of this policy so that cooking oil in the country is abundant at affordable prices."
 
Officials introduced limited curbs on palm oil exports in January, capped prices, and announced cash subsidies for some Indonesians to compensate for rising food prices.
 
But the commodity continued to become harder to find at markets and grocery stores, with long queues appearing at many locations.
 
This week the Attorney General's Office accused an official in the trade ministry of corruption for issuing export permits to palm oil producers when they had not met domestic market obligations.
 
The office also arrested several high-ranking officials at three of Indonesia's big palm oil companies, including Wilmar Nabati Indonesia, a subsidiary of Singapore-based giant Wilmar International.
 
Palm oil is the most widely used vegetable oil in Indonesia whereas crude palm oil is exported worldwide for a wide range of uses, from cosmetics to chocolate spread.
 
Vegetable oils are among a number of staple food items that have reached all-time high prices in recent weeks following Russia's invasion of agricultural powerhouse Ukraine, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation.

Many of the Malaysian plantation companies have their business in Indonesia, right?

Despite the ban the domestic price in indonesia will still remains high because of domestic shortage. So, it is still a handsome profit for indo planters.

Of course, without doubt pure msia planters will outperform those with some palm oil fields in indonesia.

Why Malaysian government did not ban export of palm oil to tackle domestic cooking oil price hike and shortage?

A reasonable government should take care of it's local demand and welfare. It should not be operate like a leeching businessman.

The people should reject such irresponsible politicians.

Since year 2018 for four years no more conversion of forest to palm oil

In these times many Palm oil Co have been turned to other Usage

Kulim Biggest Palm Oil in Johor converted 2 Palm oil estates into THRIVING TOWNSHIPS IN PENGERANG
More lands taken from Palm oil for housing

Recently Bplant sold palm oil estates to YtlPower to make Data Center & Solar Farm

Now Indonesia buying Palm oil lands in Bulugan Regency to convert into WORLD BIGGEST GREENTECH PARK

With less and less palm oil acreage and World Population continues to grow MANKIND WILL FACE GREAT STARVATION & FAMINE

MILLIONS & MULTI MILLIONS WILL DIE FROM HUNGER

BLAME IT ON GREEN PEACE

BLAME IT ON FRENCH RAPESEED FARMERS TELLING LIES ON ESG AGAINST PALM OIL

BLAME THOSE USA SOYBEAN FARMERS WHO OPPOSE PALM OIL

LOL. Only fools think that people will die due to shortage of palm oil.
Humans survived for hundreds of thousands of years without palm oil.
They continue living without palm oil, alternatives are plenty.
Cost will not be a matter.

Why Malaysian government did not ban export of palm oil to tackle domestic cooking oil price hike and shortage?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
because msia government does not hv deep pocket to give up the 8% export duty on cpo. Now it is a perfect time for them to earn back whatever they spent on covid in last 2 years.

Knowledge is power

Palm oil palmic acid content is 44%

Palmic acid in soybean only 11%

So palm oil has 4X(times) more palmic acid than
SOYOIL

PALMIC ACID IS FOUND IN 30% OF HUMAN BODY

MOTHER'S BREAST MILK IS 25% PALMIC ACID

THAT IS WHY INFANT MILK FORMULA HAS PALMIC ACID IN ITS CONTENT

BY BANNING PALMIC ACID USA NOW SUFFERS FROM 20% TO 30% INFLATION

2022-04-23 14:39

calvintaneng

Palmic acid is found in margerine, instant noodle, Milo, teh tarik, all biscuit, bread, Ice cream cake and 50% of supermarket item

It is used as pet food and washing detergent

Without palm oil the life building block from palmic acid will be less

even rice got 7% to 15% palmic acid

Meat, cheese got 50% palmic acid

so when world is hungry and less efficient production of palmic acid many many people will starve

Palm oil contains approximately 50% saturated fatty acids, with 44% palmitic acid (C16:0), 5% stearic acid (C18:0), and trace amounts of myristic acid (C14:0). The unsaturated fatty acids are approximately 40% oleic acid (C18:1) and 10% polyunsaturated linoleic acid (C18:2) and linolenic acid (C18:3) [11]–[13].9 May 2014

Banning export shall flood the local Indonesian market with CPO and thus automatically drive local selling price for cooking oil , biodiesel and all consumer products containing palm oil to very low level. Jokowi is resolved to cushion the hardship face by his people due to hyperinflation and at tge same time reduce government subsidies in cooking oil and fuels. Such move , if it is prolonged is bad for plantations in Indonesia.

2022-04-23 15:43

The beneficiaries are 100% Malaysia based plantations such as Taann, SOp, swkpltn, MHC, cepat, HSplant, Kmloong etc.
Better stick to Malaysia based plantations . Indonesia frequent come with policy surprises and it’s no good for business.

On the other hand, it will reduce export revenue and it's economy for Indonesia. For how long Indonesia can afford to continue with the export ban that remains to be seen.

TSH has most of its land and four oil mills in Indonesia. I think it can take a back seat for the time being until the export ban is lifted.

no

Calvin kind hearted warnings were taken with wrong attitude

Those who took heed to get out of gloves and bloated tech early and bought palm oil were saved from losses into huge gains

Those failed to listen tries to blame

Never mind

Calvin will always tell the truth
nothing but the truth shall prevail

I remember Calvin has advised some people to stop chasing/cut loss in some 'rubbish' counters right before it crashed sometime ago.

Ban oil export mean no need to deliver to client anymore?

Yes Exporters can now declare a force majeure in a legal attempt to escape contractual liability and obligation by applying the elements of
(1) unforeseeable event,
(2) outside of the parties' control, that
(3) renders performance impossible or impractical

Ok to give u a good picture on palmoil ban by indonesia;

Indonesia producer can only sell domestically at Rm 3500 to Rm 4500 loh!
Their production cost is Rm 1500 to Rm 2000 loh!
Still making good profit but much less loh!

Msia producer can sell Rm 6500 to Rm 7500 mah!
Msian producers cost at Rm 2000 to Rm 2400, can make super abnormal profit loh!

Will the West continue to raise the ESG and environment/global warming issue or protest is about to happen in other importing countries?

Yes western countries still use ESG to downplay palm oil but but due to super shortage they are quietly buy a lot. Malaysia March export palm oil showed that europe increase import 48% palm oil from Malaysia. They have no choice.

Do you know why soybean oil price still at premium to Palm oil?

The western countries are using whatever it take to make sure they can sell their soybean oil at price higher than palm oil.

2022-04-24 15:15

StartOfTheBull

No intention to shorten the Ukraine war but the gain from their weapons sales can still be used to compensate for the purchase of soybean oil and canola oil at record price? This maybe true I guess.

Globally, palm oil supplies 40% of the world's vegetable oil demand on just under 6% of the land used to produce all vegetable oils.

The Western World out of their self interest come out with all unfound issues: health, sustainability, deforestation, ESG and etc to suppress palm oil because they know their seasonal vegatable oil crops were and are not competative compare to palm oil.

This ban also impact some of our palm oil producers especially those with affected farms in Indonesia!
