Indonesia's plan to expand its biofuel program by increasing palm oil usage is facing higher costs due to surging palm oil prices. The government typically subsidizes biodiesel sales, but the price hike complicates funding, as export levies may fall short. The new plan aims to raise palm oil's biofuel share from 35% to 40%, yet only the public service sector will receive subsidies, leaving consumers and retailers to bear the increased costs.
