INTRODUCTION

Indonesia has fundamentally changed the way certain strategic commodities are exported.

Government Regulation No. 24 of 2026, effective from 1 June 2026, introduces a centralized export system for coal, palm oil, and ferroalloy, with additional commodities expected to follow. Rather than allowing exporters to sell directly to overseas buyers, exports will gradually be centralized through a government-designated state-owned enterprise, which is widely expected to be PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia.

For businesses operating in these sectors, this represents a significant regulatory shift that may affect existing contracts, pricing strategies, and export operations.
