A Reuters poll of industry participants projects benchmark palm oil prices will average 2,650 ringgit a tonne in 2020, up 17.9% from 2019. The median forecast reflects reduced first-half output and higher biodiesel use in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Tighter first-half supply and biodiesel demand support vegetable oil prices, which raises the cost of palm-based feed ingredients. Expected second-half supply recovery limits the upside.
