The latest pricing structure shows FFB prices rising with plantation age through the nine-year category, where the price peaks at IDR 3,745.42/kg, before gradually declining for older palms.
The regulated FFB pricing mechanism is based on Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 13 of 2024 concerning the purchase of FFB produced by partner smallholders.
The Riau pricing decision serves as the reference for FFB transactions involving plasma smallholders partnering with plantation companies across the province.
The calculation also incorporates the additional shell value stipulated under Riau Governor Regulation No. 77 of 2020, which governs the determination of FFB purchase prices for smallholder-produced oil palm in Riau. (T2)
