> Palm oil traders, analysts and plantation executives are gathering in Bali for an Indonesian palm oil conference from October 30 to November 1. Key topics include Indonesia's biodiesel mandate and a trade spat between Malaysia and India that began after Malaysia criticised India's Kashmir policy. Indian buyers have started switching to Indonesia over fears of import curbs.
