Jakarta’s biodiesel policy to bolster CPO this year

While the full impact of Indonesia’s B50 biodiesel policy would only be significant next year, news of its rollout in 2H26 is expected to support and sustain CPO prices in the near term, AmInvest Research said.

PETALING JAYA: Crude palm oil (CPO) prices could reach RM4,400 per tonne this year, representing a modest increase from last year’s average of RM4,332, analysts say.

The anticipated support for CPO prices will primarily stem from the scheduled roll-out of Indonesia’s B50 biodiesel policy in the second half of this year (2H26).
