The Malaysian Palm Oil Council forecast that Malaysian palm oil stockpiles will stay low in 2021 on strong Chinese demand and a lower Indian import duty. It projected Malaysian output of 19.6 million tonnes and an average benchmark price of 3,217 ringgit a tonne, up from 2,700 in 2020.
It also expected Indonesian exports to fall by 500,000 tonnes because of its higher export levies.
Tighter Malaysian stocks and firm demand support palm oil prices, and lower Indonesian exports would tighten global vegetable oil supply, which supports competing oils and meal values for feed buyers.
