Indonesia moved to flush out palm oil inventories after exports resumed slowly following its export ban. Palm fruit prices have fallen about 75% since the ban was first announced, according to a farmers' group.
Authorities want fresh fruit bunch prices to recover to at least 3,000 rupiah per kg.
Indonesia's export policy shifts change global palm oil supply, and the flush-out push adds to downward pressure on palm oil prices. Lower domestic fruit prices also signal weaker farm-level economics for palm producers.
After 400 past bearish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.1%), and +0.2% over 20.
