According to reflective data, the price of CPO on the Malaysian Derivatives Exchange this week was nearly 3 percent to 3,472 ringgit per tonne or around US. It. $ 855 / ton. The elevation is the highest since May 2012.
The government is now adjusting the CPO levy rate based on price value layer boundaries that refer to the reference price set by the Minister of Trade.

The increase in CPO this week is due to the tightly supply that is predicted. The results of a Reuters survey have shown that Malaysia’s CPO stock in November is likely to fall 2% from the previous month to 1.54 million tonnes.
Meanwhile, Dorab Mistry, a top CPO analyst, estimates that Malaysian palm oil production in 2020 is likely to reach 19.2 million tonnes, and December stocks fall to a level of 1.4 million tonnes.
In addition, last week India, as the largest global palm oil consumer, decided to cut import duties by 10 percentage points from 37.5 percent to 27.5 percent. The Indian government is reportedly worried about the high price of local vegetable oil.
Market sources estimate that palm oil imports to India in December could increase to around 700,000-730,000 metric tons, up from the previous estimate of 550,000-600,000 metric tons.
Meanwhile, Sudhakar Desai, President of the India Vegetable Oil Producers Association (WPA) estimates that the demand for CPO in his country can soar to 100,000 tonnes per month with this policy. This is because CPO imports will be cheaper than competing products.
“This cut makes the CPO more competitive. We only pay an import duty 7.5% cheaper than imports of soy bail or sunflower seeds,” Desai said, according to Reuters. For information, the import duty rate for soybean oil and sunflower seeds in India is 35%.
