GAPKI chair Eddy Martono proposed adjusting Indonesia’s biodiesel blend among B35, B40, and B50 according to feedstock availability, prices, and funding capacity. The group projected that palm exports in 2027 could fall to about 26.5 million tonnes if B50 operates throughout the year, and called for energy-policy costs to be shared fairly without reducing support for smallholder replanting.
A full-year B50 mandate would divert more palm oil into domestic biodiesel and could reduce exportable supply, supporting palm oil prices. A flexible blending policy could limit that tightening when feedstock or financing is constrained.
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.
