Analysts warn that El Niño could curb palm oil output in Indonesia and Malaysia during 2024, with impacts likely in the second half of the year. The World Bank projects 2023-24 palm output rising only 0.2 million tonnes, well below the usual growth rate.
Below-normal rainfall has been recorded over southern Sumatra and Kalimantan.
Lower palm yields from El Niño dryness would tighten vegetable oil supply and support prices in 2024. Feed buyers relying on palm-derived fats should expect firmer costs later in the year.
