The BPS data showed that Riau's CPO exports in March this year stood at US$395.16 million, which was lower than the previous month's US$413.36 million.
The drop in the CPO exports affected the local price of CPO and the value of Riau's total exports. It cut the value of the province's total exports which in March were only recorded at US$629.67 million, down from the previous month's US$639.88 million
