Frequently asked questions

Is RBD palm oil under EUDR too?

Yes. Any product derived from oil palm - 1511 range, 1513, and processed goods with palm content - falls under EUDR.

How do Indonesian DMO and export levy work?

DMO obliges producers to sell a percentage of output to the domestic cooking-oil market at a capped price; the export levy varies with reference price. Both are re-set periodically and materially affect FOB parity vs BMD futures.
