The Kuala Lumpur palm oil conference from March 4 to 6 will focus on palm biodiesel mandates, production growth, trade talks and EU policy. Producers have objected to an EU draft law classifying palm oil from large plantations as unsustainable.
Analysts expect biodiesel use to be the key catalyst for prices.
Stronger biodiesel mandates in Indonesia and Malaysia could absorb surplus supply and lift prices, while EU restrictions could cut export demand. Feed buyers should watch both factors for palm oil cost direction.
After 513 past neutral policy events, Palm Oil moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
