# Analysts: RI Should Allow Palm Expansion To Meet Rising Needs - Gabungan Pengusaha Kelapa Sawit Indonesia (GAPKI)

> Industry analysts say palm oil is trading at a premium to rival oils for the first time, as output slows and Indonesia diverts more palm into biodiesel. Indonesia raised its biodiesel palm blend to 40% this year and is studying 50% for 2026. GAPKI estimates Indonesia's exports will fall to 20 million tonnes by 2030.

## Why it matters

Biodiesel mandates pull palm supply away from food and export markets, which supports palm and vegetable oil prices over the longer term. The end of the historical palm discount raises costs for buyers.
