InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) has released the latest data showing that the performance of Indonesian palm oil exports continues to record positive growth.

Based on the official statistics report on September 1, 2025, the export share of crude palm oil (CPO) and its derivatives for the January–July 2025 period reached 9.21% of the total national exports.

In terms of volume, the export of CPO and its derivative products grew significantly by 10.95%. While the export volume in the January–July 2024 period was only about 12.29 million tons, it surged to 13.64 million tons in the same period this year.

Along with the increase in volume, the trade value of CPO also rose. In January–July 2024, the trade value of CPO and its derivatives was recorded at US$864.07 million. However, in the January–July 2025 period, the figure surpassed US$1.04 billion, an increase of 20.68% compared to the previous year.

Still referring to the BPS report, India remains one of the main markets for Indonesia's non-oil and gas commodities. Total non-oil and gas exports to the country reached US$10.87 billion in January–July 2025. Of this amount, mineral fuels (HS 27) dominated with a value of US$3.30 billion or 30.39%, followed by animal/vegetable fats and oils (HS 15) at US$2.20 billion or 20.26%, and iron and steel (HS 72) valued at US$950 million or 8.73%.

This performance confirms the strategic role of CPO as one of Indonesia's flagship commodities in the global market, as well as a key driver of non-oil and gas exports, especially to major trading partners like India. (T2)
