PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – Crude palm oil (CPO) prices at PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (KPBN Inacom) strengthened on Tuesday (January 13, 2026), reflecting firmer market sentiment in both the domestic and global palm oil markets.
KPBN set its CPO price at IDR 14,555 per kilogram, up IDR 154/kg, or 1.07%, from IDR 14,401/kg recorded on Monday (January 12, 2026).
According to data obtained by Palmoilmagazine.com, the Franco Dumai CPO price was fixed at IDR 14,555/kg. Meanwhile, FOB Teluk Bayur opened at IDR 14,425/kg, but the tender was later withdrawn, with the highest bid reaching IDR 14,220/kg.
On the international front, palm oil futures in Malaysia also moved higher on Tuesday, extending gains for a second consecutive session. As reported by Reuters, the rally was supported by rising prices of competing vegetable oils and early January export data that pointed to improving demand.
The benchmark March 2026 palm oil contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose RM41 per ton, or nearly 1%, to RM4,131 per ton by the midday session.
Palm oil tracked strength across the broader vegetable oil complex. The most-active palm oil contract in Dalian climbed 1.62%, while soybean oil futures on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) advanced 0.62%.
In the global market, palm oil continues to compete closely with soybean oil and other vegetable oils, making price movements in rival commodities a key factor influencing palm oil trends.
