The Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) predicts an increase in the domestic market obligation (DMO) for Minyakita as crude palm oil (CPO) exports rise, according to ANTARA News. The ministry expects the higher DMO to support domestic cooking oil availability amid growing export demand. This adjustment aligns with Indonesia's strategy to balance domestic needs with export opportunities, ensuring sufficient local supply while capitalizing on international markets.
