PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAMBI – Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) prices for oil palm farmers in Jambi Province recorded a significant increase for the June 5–11, 2026 pricing period. The Jambi Provincial FFB Pricing Team agreed to raise the price for oil palm trees aged 10–20 years by IDR 137.45 per kilogram, bringing the benchmark price to IDR 3,440.77/kg.
