Indonesia to keep domestic palm oil sale rules ahead of B35 – official

Indonesia has no plan to change rules mandating palm oil exporters sell a portion of their output to the domestic market, M. Firman Hidayat, a senior official with a ministry overseeing the rules, told on Monday.

Exporters currently can only ship palm oil four times the amount they sell domestically. Starting Aug. 1, Indonesia will fully implement a mandate to have a 35% palm oil blend in biodiesel, called the B35 programme.
