Indonesia's GAPKI expects palm oil exports to US to rise following trade pact

JAKARTA, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Indonesia's palm oil association GAPKI said on Friday that it expects the country's palm oil exports to the United States to rise to 3 million metric tons within the next two years after the conclusion of a trade agreement.

Last year, Indonesian palm oil exports to the United States reached 2.2 million tons, GAPKI said.

As part of the trade deal, the United States agreed to exempt Indonesian palm oil from its 19% import levy.
