Indonesia's palm oil stockpile fell to 4.04 million tonnes at the end of August, down from 5.91 million a month earlier and 6.69 million at end-June, according to GAPKI estimates. Biodiesel demand is rising, with Indonesia exporting 206,000 tonnes in January-August versus 167,000 tonnes for all of 2021.
Rains are cutting output and demand is strengthening.
Falling Indonesian stocks and stronger biodiesel demand tighten global palm supply, supporting palm oil prices and their discount-to-soyoil relationship.
