# Malaysia’s record palm oil stocks face 2027 supply risks as Indonesian biodiesel demand strengthens

> Malaysia’s palm oil inventories rose 3.15% month on month to a record 3.62 million tonnes in October 2026, despite stronger exports, as production and opening stocks outweighed shipments. Analysts expect seasonal production declines, possible El Niño-related crop losses and stronger Indonesian biodiesel demand to tighten the balance heading into 2027.

## Why it matters

The record stocks weigh on near-term palm oil prices, but lower seasonal output and stronger Indonesian biodiesel use could absorb supply and support prices later. The outlook points to near-term pressure followed by potential tightening in 2027.
