B50 Consistency Push Meets New Capacity and a Lower Malaysian Reference Price

GAPKI urged the Indonesian government to keep the B50 biodiesel mandate on a stable schedule and warned against abrupt policy changes. A new biodiesel plant, Bayas Biofuels, was reported ready to start, Thailand is seeking more Indonesian CPO, and Malaysia trimmed its December reference price.

WHY IT MATTERS

Stable B50 policy and added biodiesel capacity support Indonesian palm demand, while the lower Malaysian reference price reduces export duty costs for Malaysian sellers.
