Sime Darby said palm oil prices will be supported by Indonesia's reintroduced export levy, which follows drawdowns in inventories. The company also warned its own output will be curtailed by a worker shortage, and noted global palm inventories are improving as Indonesia loosens export restrictions.
Indonesian levy reintroduction and shrinking stocks support prices, while labour constraints tighten supply from a major producer. Improving inventory flows partly offset that support.
