# COMMODITIES 2025: Biofuel policies seen boosting POME to top of feedstock price charts | S&P Global

> S&P Global reports that Asian POME prices have risen about 50% during 2024, with much of the gain in Q4 after Indonesia raised its export tax on POME in October. Demand from the EU and Indonesia's domestic biofuel obligation are expected to support prices into 2025. Fraud allegations add uncertainty to trade.
