S&P Global polled eight industry analysts and trade bodies, who expect Malaysian third-month crude palm oil futures to average about MR 3,800/mt in 2023, below 2022's record-high average of MR 4,943/mt. Higher Malaysian and Indonesian output is expected as foreign workers return, though labor shortages, China's reopening and recession risks could alter the outlook.
A forecast of lower palm prices reflects expected supply recovery that would ease vegoil costs for feed buyers. The outlook remains uncertain because demand depends on China and the global economy.
