"Koch Minerals & Trading is exiting crude and refined products trading to focus on our other, more customer-oriented trading activities," a spokesperson for KM&T said on Tuesday.
KM&T trades over 75 different commodities in more than 50 countries and also invests in other businesses, according to Koch's website. Among the other commodities it trades are natural gas and industrial metals.

Indonesia plans quick-to-build oil refineries for US crude, doubts persist
JAKARTA/SINGAPORE, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Indonesia plans to build a network of small modular refineries to process U.S. and domestic oil, aiming to reduce gasoline imports, but analysts warn the switch in strategy from large-scale refining facilities could prove uneconomical. The prefabricated refinery units, which can be constructed faster and more cheaply than traditional plants, will help Asia's largest importer of gasoline meet domestic demand and its commitment to increase U.S. imports. Indonesia's focus on small refineries runs counter to the global trend of ever-larger crude processing facilities that maximise economies of scale, analysts say. Reuters reported last month that Indonesian sovereign wealth fund Danantara planned to sign an $8 billion contract with U.S. engineering firm KBR Inc for 17 modular refineries, citing sources and an official economic ministry presentation. Danantara has not commented directly on the deal and KBR did not respond to Reuters requests for comment. Indonesian officials confirmed the refinery plan, which was agreed as part of Indonesia's deal with Washington that includes a pledge to buy $15 billion worth of U.S. energy products for reduced tariffs on Indonesian goods. "We will import crude oil into Indonesia and that will require refineries that match the characteristics of U.S. crude, so we invest accordingly," Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani told reporters at a conference last month, adding that details were still being discussed. Deputy Energy Minister Yuliot Tanjung said there were plans to locate the refineries close to oil production sites. Initial studies for modular infrastructure and oil storage facilities have been conducted in Natuna, Surabaya, North Halmahera and Fakfak, among others. The planned projects were among those proposed to Danantara for funding, Yuliot said. Indonesia's total oil and gas imports stood at $36.28 billion in 2024, official data showed. Analysts have expressed caution over the feasibility of the strategy, citing Indonesia's historical challenges in expanding its refining capacity. Indonesia's Pertamina has plans to invest $48 billion to upgrade six refineries and construct a large refining and petrochemical complex to double the state-owned firm's oil products output to 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd). Pertamina initially partnered with major global companies for the projects, but most of the partnerships were cancelled for various reasons, including disagreement over the value of projects, forcing Pertamina to conduct most of the expansion alone. Indonesia has not built a major refinery in 30 years. Pertamina's existing six refineries have a combined capacity of 1.06 million bpd, meeting around 60% of domestic fuel demand. In 2022, Pertamina completed a first-phase upgrade at the Balongan refinery to increase capacity by 25,000 bpd, but the $7.4 billion upgrade of the Balikpapan refinery under the Refinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) is yet to be completed. A partnership with Rosneft ( opens new tab to build a 300,000-bpd refinery and petrochemical complex in Tuban has faced delays due to sanctions on Russia over its war with Ukraine. "Building the 17 refineries seems quite ambitious considering that RDMP plans are also under way," said Pankaj Srivastava, senior vice president at Rystad Energy. Simple refineries can be completed in less than half the time of larger complexes and cost less, providing a "quick fix" and easing Indonesia's reliance on refined oil imports, but will not help the country achieve its goal to expand its petrochemical capacity, he said. Small refineries, typically with capacities of 50,000 bpd to 150,000 bpd, are generally simpler units without upgrading facilities, limiting economies of scale, said Adi Imsirovic, director at Surrey Clean Energy. Additionally, these projects - with a smaller feedstock requirement and terminal restrictions - will likely require the use of smaller vessels to import crude, raising costs significantly, said Sparta Commodities' senior analyst June Goh. She also warned that the arbitrage may not always be economical for U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude. "If there is no crude flexibility in-built into the modular refinery projects, then Indonesia will be very exposed to the prices of U.S. crude delivered into the country," she said.

India removes import duty on cotton in temporary relief for garment industry
NEW DELHI, Aug 19 (Reuters) - India has exempted import duties on cotton from August 19 to September 30, fulfilling the demand of industry groups who said exemptions would help make the sector more competitive. The temporary suspension of the duty, announced in a government order late on Monday, is seen as a relief for India's garment industry, which is reeling from a steep 50% tariff on shipments to the United States. The U.S. tariff comprises an existing 25% levy and an additional 25% set to take effect later this month, imposed as a penalty for India's purchases of Russian oil. The effective rate compares unfavourably with 20% for Bangladesh and Vietnam, and 30% for China. Industry bodies such as the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) had urged the government to scrap the cotton import duty to help make the sector more competitive. Before the exemption, cotton imports were subject to an 11% duty. Industry officials now expect the government to extend duty-free cotton imports beyond September. Reuters earlier reported that some Indian exporters were scrambling to explore manufacturing options overseas to offset the impact of the higher tariffs. India's garment sector was already grappling with a labour crunch and limited production capacity. The prospect of exporters relocating production abroad poses a further challenge to the government's "Make in India" manufacturing drive. India aims to increase textile exports to $100 billion by 2030. The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs comes just as India was emerging as a strong alternative for American garment buyers, with Bangladesh facing political uncertainty and companies seeking to diversify supply chains beyond China.
