  • Why is Kenya not able to export palm oil to Africa?
  • Firstly, Kenya palm oil duty import regime that favours CPO/CPL instead of processed palm oil. Kenya imposed a 10% import duty on CPO and 25% duty on refined palm oil. Secondly, Indonesia has not been able to export CPO to the African countries as Indonesia has to fulfil its domestic requirement and biodiesel mandate.

  • Is Kenya an East African regional palm oil hub?
  • Ever since the Tanzania government increased the CPO import duty to 35% in July 2018, the role of Kenya as an East African regional palm oil hub has grown more significant. The exemption of crude palm oil duty by the Malaysian government this year also gives plenty of incentive to Kenya buyers to import more CPO.
