Kernel-based products also remained firm, with crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) Franco Dumai priced at IDR 25,775 per kg.
In the futures market, Malaysian palm oil prices strengthened further on Tuesday, supported by market expectations of a sharp decline in production alongside signs of improving export demand. The combination is widely seen as likely to tighten end-stock levels and sustain bullish sentiment in the coming months.
According to Reuters, the benchmark April 2026 palm oil contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose RM37 per ton, or 0.91%, to RM4,104 per ton at the midday break.
