  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   ID2021-0043

Indonesia extended its B30 mandate program, which requires biodiesel to contain 30 percent palm oil-based fuel, to 2022. Palm oil exports for 2021/22 are forecast to increase 13 percent from the previous year on greater demand from China and Pakistan, offsetting lower India demand. Soybean meal imports for 2021/22 are estimated higher than previously expected, reflecting continued increases in feed industry demand.
