The EU received 116,174 tonnes of Colombian palm oil from January to September 2026, 11.9% less than a year earlier, according to Eurostat data. Colombia's total crude palm oil exports to all destinations rose 26.8% over the same period, while Guatemalan supply to the EU grew 60.3%.
Shifting EU sourcing toward Guatemala and away from Colombia reflects buyers reacting to compliance and origin requirements, with limited direct effect on global palm oil prices.
After 67 past neutral trade events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.3%), and +0.6% over 20.
