Indonesia's decision to halt edible oil exports, effective the next day, could double global food issues and increase costs for companies like Nestle and Unilever, potentially leading to food price inflation. This adds to the disruption caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the sunflower oil trade. With Indonesia being a major exporter of edible oils, mainly palm oil, the ban could significantly increase global food prices, affecting both developing and developed countries. The ban could also have mixed impacts on Malaysia, the world's second-largest palm oil producer, potentially increasing sales and profit flow for agricultural producers and boosting export revenue. However, the ban could also lead to higher food prices in Malaysia and reduce domestic supply, especially for oil refineries.
