Indonesia palm oil exports to US may fall due to tariffs, industry group says

JAKARTA :Indonesian palm oil exports to the United States may fall due to the 32 per cent tariffs threatened on Indonesian goods, allowing competitors in Malaysia to gain market share, an industry official told Reuters on Tuesday. The two countries are the world's biggest palm oil producers, but Indonesia has been by far the biggest supplier to the United States, accounting for 85 per cent of its total imports last year. But if the new tariff comes into effect, it could lead to a 15 per cent-20 per cent drop in Indonesian palm oil shipments to the United States, said Hadi Sugeng, secretary general of the Indonesia Palm Oil Association. "The competitiveness of palm oil will decline against other vegetable oils such as soybean oil and rapeseed oil, especially if countries exporting these vegetable oils receive lower tariffs," he added. Overall, Indonesia exported 29.5 million tons of palm oil products in 2024. Exports to the United States stood at an average of 2.25 million metric tons per year over the past three years, Hadi said. Indonesia's top negotiator is headed to Washington on Tuesday to meet with trade representatives of the United States, an economic ministry official said. Malaysian palm oil faces a lower tariff of 25 per cent, giving producers an advantage over their Indonesian counterparts. Speaking on Tuesday, Malaysia's plantations and commodities minister Johari Abdul Ghani said U.S. importers would have to bear the cost of additional tariffs on palm oil. He said there was was no alternative to palm oil in the U.S. as soybeans cannot be converted into oleochemicals, plant-based products used in toothpastes and detergents.

Indonesia palm oil group says palm oil exports to US may fall due to tariffs

JAKARTA :Indonesian palm oil exports to the United States may fall due to the 32 per cent tariffs threatened on Indonesian goods, Hadi Sugeng, secretary general of the Indonesia Palm Oil Association (GAPKI), told Reuters on Tuesday. Palm oil products are among Indonesia's top exports to the United States. If implemented, the tariff could lead to a 15 per cent-20 per cent drop in Indonesian palm oil shipments to the United States, which stood at an average of 2.25 million metric tons per year over the past three years, Hadi said. Overall, Indonesia exported 29.5 million tons of palm oil products in 2024. "The competitiveness of palm oil will decline against other vegetable oils such as soybean oil and rapeseed oil, especially if countries exporting these vegetable oils receive lower tariffs," he added. Indonesian palm oil products, which account for 85 per cent of U.S. palm imports, may also lose market share to Malaysian palm oil, which faces a lower tariff.

Sabah records more than RM100bil trade 3 years in a row

Chief statistician Uzir Mahidin said Sabah's exports in 2024 were led by crude petroleum with RM21.3 billion, palm oil with RM17.3 billion, and liquefied natural gas with RM4.6 billion. (AFP pic) PETALING JAYA : Sabah has once again surpassed the RM100 billion trade mark in 2024, marking the third consecutive year the state has achieved this milestone despite softer export figures. The statistics department said Sabah recorded RM107.8 billion in total trade last year, a 2.7% increase from 2023. However, exports slipped by 2.3% to RM61.3 billion for 2024, while imports jumped by 10.2% to RM46.4 billion. 'The higher growth in imports compared to exports resulted in a 27.9% decline in the trade balance, with a lower trade surplus of RM14.9 billion in 2024,' it said in a statement. Chief statistician Uzir Mahidin said the major commodities contributing to Sabah's exports in 2024 were crude petroleum with RM21.3 billion, palm oil (RM17.3 billion) and liquefied natural gas (RM4.6 billion), totalling RM43.2 billion or 70.4%. 'As for imports, the main contributors were refined petroleum products at RM5.2 billion, manufactured fertilisers (RM1 billion), and palm oil-based oleochemicals (RM266 million),' he said. While international exports from Sabah rose marginally by 0.9%, inter-regional exports to Peninsular Malaysia dropped by 7.2%, dragged down by a decline in shipments of crude petroleum, palm oil, and oleochemicals. Peninsular Malaysia remained Sabah's top trading partner, contributing nearly half (46.8%) of its total trade, while China, Thailand, South Korea, Japan and India collectively contributed 26.8% at the international level. The department also announced the annual external trade statistics for all states and federal territories, detailing each state's international trade values with other countries from 2019 to 2024. For Sabah, the international trade values used excluded trade between the state with Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak. 'For 2024, the total trade of Sabah based on these values recorded a 3.6% growth to RM43 billion from RM41.5 billion in 2023. This total trade was contributed by exports valued at RM32.1 billion and imports of RM10.9 billion. 'Sabah's exports increased by 3.2% to RM32.1 billion in 2024 compared to RM31.1 billion in 2023,' it said. Imports in 2024 amounted to RM10.9 billion, marking a 5% increase over the previous year. The mentioned values differ from the report published on June 16 following updates made based on the latest data. Last week, Sabah's industrial development minister Phoong Jin Zhe, said the state's 'unusually high' trade figure for 2023 was likely driven by a single transaction and does not reflect the state's actual economic performance.
