How is the CPO export levy (PE) calculated?

The export levy (Pungutan Ekspor, PE) is a plantation fund levy on exports of CPO and its derivatives, managed by the Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDP), formerly BPDPKS. The scheme has changed between regimes: until September 2024 the levy was a fixed rate (US$/MT), tiered according to Reference Price brackets; it was then changed to a percentage of the CPO Reference Price (HR), with lower rates for derivative products than for CPO to encourage downstream processing.

The levy rate for the current period, together with the export duty and its legal basis (PMK and BPDP provisions), is listed on GIMNI's CPO Reference Price tracker.
