The European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for EU action on legal and sustainable commodities, including palm oil. EIA argues that RSPO and ISPO certification schemes need to tackle illegality, citing studies that link many commodity exports to illegally cleared forests.
Growing pressure for legality checks could raise compliance costs and tighten palm oil supply to Europe, a modestly bullish factor for palm prices.
After 548 past bullish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -0.7% to +2.1%), and +0.9% over 20.
