JAKARTA (Reuters) -- Indonesia will tighten export rules for palm oil from Jan. 1 by allowing less to be shipped overseas for every tonne sold domestically, in a move aimed at ensuring there is sufficient domestic supply, a government official said on Friday.

Exporters will be allowed to ship six times their domestic sales volume, less than the current ratio of eight times, according to a new regulation reviewed by Reuters, which was confirmed by an industry official.
