The pricing formula was supported by a crude palm oil (CPO) reference price of IDR 15,304.99/kg. Palm kernel prices were set at IDR 12,368.20/kg, while shell values reached IDR 19.77/kg.
The K index, which reflects the proportion of revenue distributed to smallholders, was determined at 92.87% for the current pricing period.
Despite the marginal correction, Riau’s plasma FFB prices remain at historically strong levels, supported by resilient domestic CPO prices that continue to trade above IDR 15,000/kg. Market participants are also closely monitoring the implementation of Indonesia’s B50 biodiesel mandate, which is expected to increase domestic palm oil demand beginning in July 2026. (P2)
