JAKARTA -- Indonesia will ban exports of all palm oil derivatives, the government said Wednesday, a reversal from an announcement made just a day earlier that the ban would apply only to products used in local production of cooking oil.
Airlangga Hartarto, the coordinating minister for the economy, said the ban taking effect Thursday will cover not just refined, bleached and deodorized palm olein (RBD olein), but also other palm oil derivatives including crude palm oil (CPO), red palm oil, palm oil mill effluent and used cooking oil.
