Malaysia Maintains November Crude Palm Oil Export Duty at 8%
Malaysia has decided to keep its export duty for crude palm oil (CPO) at 8% for November, while also increasing its reference price. This information was disclosed in a circular on the Malaysian Palm Oil Board's website.
For November, the reference price for crude palm oil has been set at 3,949.73 ringgit (approximately $918.54) per metric ton, up from October's reference price of 3,839.10 ringgit per ton.
Export Tax Structure: The export tax for crude palm oil in Malaysia operates on a tiered structure:
- A 3% tax is applied when the reference price is between 2,250 and 2,400 ringgit per ton.
- The maximum export tax rate of 8% is imposed when prices exceed 3,450 ringgit per ton.
This decision reflects Malaysia's ongoing strategy to manage its palm oil exports amid fluctuating global prices and market conditions.
