Indonesia January-July palm oil export volume down 1% y/y, data shows

Business Recorder, citing data from Indonesia's statistics bureau released on Tuesday, said the country shipped 13.51 million metric tons of palm oil in the January to July window. That tally was 0.97 per cent lower than in the same months a year earlier. The grades covered included both crude and refined palm oil.

Their value, meanwhile, rose 5.49 per cent, reaching $14.79 billion against the January to July span of 2025. Biodiesel, oleochemicals and palm kernel oil fall outside the bureau's count.

GAPKI, the Indonesian palm oil association, normally publishes its own figures later, covering a wider range of products, so its export numbers differ. Readers should therefore expect GAPKI's totals to differ from the bureau's.
