Analysts said Indonesia's long-delayed B50 biodiesel mandate, which Prabowo reaffirmed on March 30, could add up to four million tonnes of annual palm oil demand. CIMB raised its 2026 CPO price forecast to RM4,400 per tonne, and palm prices have risen nearly 19% this year.
Potential demand of up to 4 million tonnes would tighten exportable palm supply and support prices, though implementation details remain unclear. Higher fuel and fertiliser costs may partly offset gains for planters.
