Dorab Mistry said palm oil's rally will accelerate as biofuel demand rises while output falls. He forecast benchmark futures could reach 2,700 ringgit a tonne by March, and said the market has begun rationing supplies through higher prices.
He cited Indonesia's B30 program as the main catalyst.
Biodiesel demand is pulling supply away from feed and food uses, which keeps vegetable oil prices firm. Higher palm oil costs feed through to the price of oil-based feed ingredients.

Mistry's 'red hot' rally call on Indonesian B30 biofuel demand and falling output (2,700 ringgit target) boosted bullish sentiment and demand expectations.
This is a re-publication of the Mistry rally call, with the same B30 demand and supply-tightness sentiment, so it adds little independent information.
