Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said Indonesia will raise its biodiesel blend to B50 this year after months of backtracking on the mandate. The palm-gasoil spread hit a 41-month low, and third-month CPO futures reached a 15-month high of 4,778 ringgit/t.
A confirmed B50 mandate would sharply increase domestic palm oil use for biodiesel, tightening exportable supply and supporting palm and soy oil prices. Narrow palm-gasoil spreads also make biodiesel more economic.
