InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – The palm oil market remains shrouded in uncertainty; however, the price trend in 2025 is predicted to continue rising, despite several underlying challenges.

At an international palm oil seminar attended by industry players and market analysts, Chairman and Managing Director of TransGraph, Nagaraj Meda, shared his insights on the future of the palm oil market, a commodity that is the backbone of the economy for many countries, especially Indonesia and Malaysia.

In his presentation, Meda outlined three scenarios that could influence the direction of the palm oil market moving forward.

Scenario One: Soybean Crop Risks in South America

Meda began with the first scenario focusing on the risks associated with soybean crops in South America. "If Indonesia fully implements the B40 program while simultaneously enforcing stricter palm oil export policies, we may see tensions in the market," he stated.

In this scenario, the full implementation of B40 would increase domestic demand for palm oil, while strict export policies could limit supply to international markets. Meda emphasized that this uncertainty could create significant price fluctuations. (T2)
