Further re selling prices and export tariffs

 

Further to the company's announcement on 6 September 2022 regarding selling prices for crude palm oil ("CPO") and crude palm kernel oil ("CPKO"), and to subsequent updates thereto published on the company’s website at www.rea.co.uk/investors/cpo-export-tariffs, the Indonesian government has published a change to the export levy structure effective from 22 September 2024.

 

Export levy, as also export duty, has, in recent years, been calculated on a sliding scale by reference to a CPO reference price that is set periodically by the Indonesian government on the basis of recognised benchmark CPO prices. Export levy is payable to a dedicated fund that utilises levy income to support measures designed to benefit the growing of oil palms in Indonesia.  Export duty is a tax payable to the Indonesian government.

 

The change just announced by the Indonesian government retains the existing sliding scale of export duty with a top and bottom cap but now imposes a fixed 7.5 per cent export levy against the CPO reference price with no top or bottom cap, replacing the previous format of incremental levy increases. The ministerial decree is expected to be reviewed after six months and the new export tariff structure will remain in place pending any further announcement.

 

The rates of export levy and export duty following the latest revision are set out below. The CPO reference price for September is $839.53, resulting in total export tariffs of $115 per tonne for CPO (net price of $765 per tonne) and export tariffs of $148 per tonne for CPKO. This represents decreases in the tariffs for both CPO and CPKO of approximately $27 per tonne as compared with the regime in force prior to the revision.

 

REA sells CPO into the local Indonesian market which is not subject to export levy or export duty. However, arbitrage between the Indonesian and international CPO markets normally results in a local price that is broadly in line with prevailing international prices after adjustment of the latter for delivery costs and export tariffs and restrictions.  Changes to export tariffs and restrictions therefore have an indirect effect on the prices that REA achieves on sales of its CPO.
