INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO EXPORT LEVY
 

M.P. Evans Group PLC, a producer of sustainable Indonesian palm oil, announces changes made by the Indonesian government to its palm-oil export levy which will take effect from 10 December 2020 (see Annex). These increases had been widely anticipated in the market for some weeks and reflected in contracts for crude palm oil ("CPO") struck by the Group. The structure of taxes in Indonesia affecting the palm-oil sector has been subject to change over recent years. The newly-announced tax increases the revenue available to the Indonesian government to implement its programme of boosting production and consumption of palm biodiesel. The board expects these changes will have only a very limited impact on the Group's 2020 results and that the longer-term prospects for the palm-oil sector and the Group remain positive.
