PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAMBI – Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) prices in Jambi Province continued their upward trend during the June 12–18, 2026 pricing period, reflecting improving returns for oil palm growers across the province.
According to the latest decision by the Jambi Provincial FFB Pricing Team, the price of FFB from oil palm trees aged 10 to 20 years—the most productive category—increased by IDR 265.9 per kilogram to reach IDR 3,706.67/kg.
The increase is expected to provide additional income for growers amid fluctuating commodity markets. It also highlights the resilience of palm oil product prices, particularly crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel, which remain key drivers of FFB values.

Data from the Jambi Provincial Plantation Agency showed that FFB prices varied according to plantation age. Three-year-old palms were priced at IDR 2,888.15/kg, while four-year-old and five-year-old plantations were valued at IDR 3,089.63/kg and IDR 3,231.33/kg, respectively.
Prices for six-year-old, seven-year-old, and eight-year-old palms were set at IDR 3,365.99/kg, IDR 3,450.85/kg, and IDR 3,524.76/kg, respectively. Meanwhile, nine-year-old palms were priced at IDR 3,593.82/kg.

The highest FFB price was recorded for plantations aged 10–20 years at IDR 3,706.67/kg. For older plantations, palms aged 21–24 years were valued at IDR 3,596.57/kg, while 25-year-old trees were priced at IDR 3,434.16/kg.
The latest increase in Jambi’s FFB prices comes amid continued support from global palm oil demand and relatively stable prices for downstream palm products. However, industry stakeholders remain focused on production trends, export performance, and developments in competing vegetable oil markets, all of which could influence FFB price movements in the weeks ahead.
