GAPKI reports Indonesia's 2017 palm oil output rose about 18% to 41.98 million tonnes including PKO, with year-end stocks at 4.02 million tonnes. Palm oil and derivative exports rose 23% in 2017, and the average CPO price was $714.3 per tonne, up 2%.
Higher Indonesian output and stocks point to ample palm oil supply, which tends to weigh on vegetable oil prices and pressure substitute oils and meals.
