PALMOILMAGAZINE, PEKANBARU – Fresh fruit bunch (FFB) prices for plasma oil palm farmers in Riau Province continued to strengthen during the June 17–23, 2026 pricing period, reflecting stable conditions in the palm oil market.
The Riau Provincial Palm Oil FFB Pricing Committee, under Decree No. 21, set the price for nine-year-old oil palm plantations at IDR 3,785.88 per kilogram, an increase of IDR 17.36 per kilogram compared with the previous period.
The modest increase indicates that while price momentum is slowing compared to earlier periods, farm-gate prices remain supported by relatively stable crude palm oil (CPO) values.
Based on data from the Riau Plantation Office, FFB prices for three-year-old oil palm trees were set at IDR 2,913.56 per kilogram. Four-year-old plantations were priced at IDR 3,306.88 per kilogram, while five-year-old trees reached IDR 3,506.01 per kilogram.
For mid-aged plantations, six-year-old trees were valued at IDR 3,659.38 per kilogram, seven-year-old plantations at IDR 3,737.76 per kilogram, and eight-year-old trees at IDR 3,781.98 per kilogram.
The highest price level in this period was recorded for nine-year-old plantations at IDR 3,785.88 per kilogram. Meanwhile, the 10–20-year-old category, which represents peak productivity, was priced at IDR 3,765.20 per kilogram.

Further down the age profile, 23-year-old trees were set at IDR 3,586.91 per kilogram, 24-year-old plantations at IDR 3,519.81 per kilogram, and 25-year-old trees at IDR 3,444.43 per kilogram.
For aging plantations, prices continued to soften, with 26-year-old trees at IDR 3,398.66 per kilogram, 27-year-old plantations at IDR 3,352.64 per kilogram, 28-year-old trees at IDR 3,307.78 per kilogram, 29-year-old plantations at IDR 3,290.71 per kilogram, and 30-year-old trees at IDR 3,276.49 per kilogram.
