Impact of crude palm oil export duties on Malaysian palm oil industry
Malaysia and Indonesia are the world’s largest producers of palm oil. Both countries export crude and processed palm oil. Since Malaysia and Indonesia are close competitors and they compete in the same market, a change in export duty rate in one country will affect the other. Indonesia, as the world...

Malaysia and Indonesia are the world’s largest producers of palm oil. Both countries export crude and processed palm oil. Since Malaysia and Indonesia are close competitors and they compete in the same market, a change in export duty rate in one country will affect the other. Indonesia, as the world's biggest palm oil producer, has drastically widened the gap between the crude palm oil and refined palm oil export taxes since October 2011, to encourage more downstream investments and production of refined palm oil products. Under the revised export duty structure, crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil are cheaper for downstream activities in Indonesia. The new structure is expected to reduce Malaysia’s competitiveness in the world market as its export duty is relatively higher. Realizing this fact, Malaysia has reduced the export duty structure to be in line with the Indonesia’s duty structure (MPOB, 2013). The general objective of the study is to examine the impact of export tariffs on Malaysian palm oil industry. The specific objectives are (i) to examine the impact of changes in the Malaysian export tariffs on palm oil production; (ii) to examine the impact of changes in the Malaysian export tariffs on exports of crude palm oil and processed palm oil; and (iii) to simulate scenarios under different levels of export duty.
