Summary of Palm Oil Market Conference Call Industry Overview - The palm oil market has recently experienced a correction, but there is significant potential for mid-term price increases. The current market sentiment is weak due to a lack of news, leading to profit-taking and price volatility [1][3] - The U.S. and Brazil's biofuel policies are increasing the use of soybean oil, which is reducing soybean oil exports and raising the international price differential between soybean and palm oil, benefiting palm oil exports [1][4] - Indonesia's B40 policy and potential B50 policy are expected to support long-term demand for palm oil [1] Supply and Demand Dynamics - Supply and demand in Malaysia and Indonesia are tightening. Malaysia's production is expected to continue declining, while Indonesia's crackdown on illegal plantations poses risks to production increases. Overall inventory in both countries is decreasing, providing price support [1][5] - India's vegetable oil inventory is low, indicating a need for replenishment. Indonesia's increased export taxes are reducing its competitiveness, while Malaysia's export data remains strong, suggesting ongoing support for India's replenishment needs [1][6] - The Indonesian government's crackdown on illegal plantations has significantly impacted production, involving millions of hectares and potentially leading to a decrease in output [1][7][29] Climate Impact - Global climate change may cause delayed impacts on palm oil production in Q1 2026, further tightening supply-demand relationships and supporting prices [1][9] Production Trends - Global palm oil production growth is expected to slow significantly by 2026, with Indonesia's production increase projected to be limited to around 1 million tons [2][11] - The concentration of palm oil production is high, primarily in Indonesia and Malaysia, with both countries facing challenges such as aging plantations and limited expansion potential [1][10] Biofuel Demand - The demand for biodiesel has increased significantly, particularly in Indonesia, where policies are expected to drive domestic palm oil demand. The potential implementation of B50 could add approximately 3 million tons of demand [1][12][18] - U.S. and Brazilian biodiesel policies are also expected to increase the demand for soybean oil and indirectly support palm oil exports [1][13][14] Market Outlook - The palm oil price has fluctuated significantly since July 2025, with expectations of further increases despite recent corrections. The price is projected to remain between 9,200 and 10,000, with potential for exceeding 10,000 in the long term [1][19][22] - India's low palm oil inventory is attributed to rising domestic consumption and reduced imports, indicating a need for replenishment in the coming months [1][23] Risks and Considerations - The transition of illegal plantation management to state-owned enterprises could significantly impact supply, with potential losses in production if not managed properly [1][25][29] - If palm oil prices remain high, it may affect the willingness of the government to increase biodiesel blending rates due to economic concerns [1][21] Conclusion - The palm oil market is facing a complex interplay of supply constraints, policy impacts, and climate considerations, with a generally optimistic long-term outlook despite short-term volatility. The focus should remain on monitoring production trends, policy developments, and global market dynamics to identify potential investment opportunities and risks.

The long - term expansion of biodiesel policies in Indonesia and the US supports the long - term demand for soybean and palm oil. Rapeseed oil has a global supply, and policies may change the trade pattern, with relatively weak demand growth expectations compared to soybean and palm oil, but there is an expectation of tightening domestic long - term supply [4][8] MPOB Report - In July, Malaysia's palm oil ending inventory increased 4.02% to 2.113 million tons, lower than the market expectation of 2.25 million tons. Production increased 7.09% to 1.812 million tons, exports increased 3.82% to 1.309 million tons, imports decreased 12.82% to 61,000 tons, and domestic consumption increased 6.63% to 483,000 tons [8] US Department of Agriculture Report - The US Department of Agriculture's August oilseed report shows that the global palm oil production in the 2025/26 season is expected to be 80.736 million tons, unchanged from last month's estimate; the ending inventory is expected to be 15.034 million tons, a downward revision of 4,000 tons from last month's estimate; and exports are expected to be 46.163 million tons, unchanged from last month's estimate. Indonesia's palm oil exports are expected to be 24 million tons, and Malaysia's are expected to be 16.1 million tons, both unchanged from last month's estimates [9][10] Other Data - From August 1 - 5, 2025, Malaysia's palm oil yield per unit decreased 19.32% month - on - month, the oil extraction rate increased 0.39% month - on - month, and production decreased 17.27% month - on - month.

The US retail sales in July increased 0.5% month - on - month, consumer demand remains resilient, the US dollar index fluctuates, and oil prices fluctuate within a narrow range. Fundamentally, Malaysia's export demand has increased significantly, Indonesia's B40 policy is being implemented with low inventory, and Malaysia's inventory build - up in July was lower than expected. In the short term, palm oil may fluctuate strongly [4][13] Industry News - Indonesia's trade authorities are asking palm oil producers to increase local market sales under the "Domestic Market Obligation (DMO)" plan to lower prices, with a monthly DMO level of 175,000 tons by the end of the year [14] - Analysts expect Malaysia's palm oil inventory to remain high in the near term. RHB Investment Bank believes that production will increase before the peak season, demand will improve, inventory will continue to increase above 2 million tons, palm oil prices will decline in Q3 and rise in Q4.
