In the same pricing meeting, crude palm oil (CPO) was set at IDR 14,009.82 per kg, while kernel prices reached IDR 11,145.58 per kg, with the K index recorded at 94.49%.
The highest prices continue to be recorded in the 10–20 year age bracket, which is agronomically recognized as the most productive phase of the oil palm life cycle.
The continued strengthening of FFB prices is expected to support farmer income in Jambi, although market players remain cautious as global CPO trends and export demand will continue to influence price movements in the weeks ahead. (P2)
