- Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current fundamentals of the palm oil market are weak, with high production in major palm oil - producing areas, sluggish exports, and high inventory levels. However, in the long - term, the expected reduction in Malaysian palm oil production, the confiscation of illegal plantations in Indonesia, and the expected increase in U.S. biodiesel soybean oil consumption in 2026 suggest an optimistic outlook. Short - term trading should be on hold [11]. - The price of edible oils may be approaching the bottom range [12]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - Industry Information: From January 1 - 20, 2026, Malaysian palm oil production decreased by 16.06% month - on - month, fresh fruit bunch yield decreased by 16.49%, and the oil extraction rate increased by 0.08%. As of the week of January 16, the inventory of the three major edible oils in China was 1.98 million tons, a decrease of 30,000 tons from the previous week. The U.S. government plans to finalize the 2026 biofuel blending quota in early March. Indonesia has cancelled the plan to increase the mandatory biodiesel blending ratio to 50% (B50 plan) and will maintain the current B40 plan. In January, the estimated consumption of U.S. soybean oil was 1.32 million tons, a decrease of 249,000 tons from the December estimate and an increase of 1 million tons from the previous year. In December, India's total vegetable oil imports were 1.38 million tons, an increase of 200,000 tons from November.

The import profit of palm oil is - 256 yuan/ton, and the biodiesel spread is at a medium level. The current production and inventory in major producing countries are high, soybean production has a slight reduction, global rapeseed production is high, and global sunflower seed production has a slight reduction. China's edible oil inventory is relatively high, while India's is relatively low.
