Indonesia's government says the B35 biodiesel programme, started 1 February 2023, has kept crude palm oil prices from falling too far. The global CPO price reportedly recovered to about $889 per tonne from $779.
Officials say the programme will continue to support prices.
Biodiesel absorption of palm oil tightens exportable supply and supports palm and vegetable oil prices.
