Riau FFB Pricing Rules
The latest FFB price determination follows Agriculture Minister Regulation No. 13 of 2024 concerning the purchase of FFB produced by partner smallholders.
The provincial team’s decision serves as the reference for FFB purchase transactions involving plasma smallholders in Riau during the specified period.
The calculation also incorporates additional shell value in accordance with Riau Governor Regulation No. 77 of 2020, which governs the determination of FFB purchase prices produced by smallholders in Riau.
The increase in Riau’s FFB prices comes as the provincial pricing mechanism continues to reflect movements in CPO and palm kernel values, providing a direct link between upstream smallholder returns and developments in the palm oil market. (P2)
