# Laman Web Rasmi KPK - PALM OIL: Palm oil-based biodiesel to face pressure at home and abroad

> Malaysia's Movement Control Order is expected to cut domestic biodiesel output, and Thailand's quarantine measures could have a similar effect. Indonesia's palm biodiesel output should stay above 2019 levels thanks to the B30 program. Malaysia's B20 mandate has been postponed, possibly beyond the third quarter.

## Why it matters

Weaker Malaysian biodiesel demand and a delayed B20 mandate reduce palm oil offtake, which is bearish for palm oil prices, while Indonesia's steady B30 demand partly offsets the impact.
