Indonesia’s agriculture ministry said on Monday that crude palm oil shipments would be excluded from a planned palm oil export ban, according to a copy of an official letter sent to local government leaders.
The letter, which was verified by a ministry official, said the ban would however include refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) palm olein.
It was still unclear on Monday whether products such as RBD palm oil and palm stearin would be affected.
