CPO price likely to improve this year


Stock reduction: Fry also predicts that global palm oil stocks will reduce by 1.0 million to 1.5 million tonnes this year.

KUALA LUMPUR: The price of crude palm oil (CPO) is expected to improve to between RM2,240 and RM2,360 a tonne this year if the benchmark Brent crude oil continues to trade within US$60 and US$65 per barrel, according to LMC International Ltd chairman Dr James Fry.

The palm oil industry expert said the price of crude oil sets the floor for CPO prices while the level of CPO stocks determined the premium over Brent crude price.
