Danny told that it is important to get CPO reference price to support fresh fruit bunch price improvement that Ministry of Agriculture decided. Isa also emphasized that to get CPO transaction, every planter should register as member and through Know Your Customer (KYC).
“There would be faster to get CPO reference price if many stakeholders are in and it would be more liquid. There is hardly no negative effect when having CPO transaction in the exchange if every buyer and seller really do understand the mechanism well,” Isa said, as in the official statement to Palmoilmagazine.com, Wednesday (13/12/2023).
