# Malaysia mulls raising palm oil share in biodiesel - The HinduBusinessLine

> Malaysia is assessing whether to raise the palm oil share in its biodiesel blend, following Indonesia's 40% palm-based biodiesel mandate. Brazil has also raised its biodiesel blend in diesel to 15% from August 1, and the US has proposed a record biofuel blending volume. Weaker near-term edible oil demand from India caps the upside.

## Why it matters

Higher biodiesel mandates would divert more palm and soy oil into fuel, tightening edible oil supply and supporting vegoil prices. Biofuel demand also links vegoil prices to crude oil.
