# Advanced BioFuels USA – Palm and PME Ride a Crest of Optimism into 2020

> Malaysian and Indonesian crude palm oil stocks fell through 2019 as domestic consumption rose on the B20 mandate, and prices rallied to MR 2,684/mt by December 4 from MR 2,065/mt at the start of the year. Indonesia's B30 biodiesel mandate is expected in January 2020, and producers were preparing to use most capacity domestically with few exports planned.

## Why it matters

A B30 mandate would absorb more palm oil domestically, tightening exportable supply while stalled CPO output keeps stocks low. This supports palm oil prices and competes with soybean oil for export demand.
