The alleged corruption is in the provision of export facilities for crude palm oil (CPO) for several companies. Five suspects are brought into the case.
President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said five heads of government had called him asking Indonesia to reopen coal exports in January 2022. The same call also happened when Indonesia blocked crude palm oil export and nickel.
The ban was first imposed on April 28.
Will the ban increase the CPO prices?
As instructed by President Joko Widodo, Indonesia must stop the export of CPO so that the commodity can be processed into value-added derivative products.
