Indonesia plans to move its biodiesel mandate from B40 to B50 in 2026, according to Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia. GAPKI says crude palm oil output is stagnant and that the B40 program consumed 15.62 million kiloliters this year, up from 12.09 million under B35.
A planned B50 mandate would absorb a much larger share of palm oil output, tightening exportable supply unless production rises, which is supportive for palm oil prices.
