ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Indonesian farmers protest against rising cost of palm oil export ban | The World” – below is their description.
Hundreds of Indonesian farmers have protested the country’s ban on palm oil exports. It was meant to address the rising costs and shortages of cooking oil, but smallholder farmers say the move has slashed their salaries and done little to fix the problem. Fajar Hirawan, an economist at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, tells The World the policy is “inappropriate”.
