Higher global palm oil prices lifted Indonesia’s CPO and derivative exports by 7.32% in the first half of 2026, reinforcing palm oil’s role as a key contributor to national export growth. PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA — Indonesia’s exports of crude palm oil (CPO) and its derivatives rose 7.32% in the first half of 2026 from a year earlier, supported by higher global palm oil prices and reinforcing the commodity’s role as one of the country’s main export growth drivers. Higher crude palm oil prices in the global market were among the factors supporting the increase,” Ateng said in BPS’ Official Statistics Report. In June alone, exports of HS15 products increased 10.45%, reflecting the strengthening trend in international palm oil prices. The performance highlights the continued importance of palm oil to Indonesia’s external trade, particularly as higher commodity prices boost export earnings.
