Price movements in CPOTR experienced a downward trend of 5.72% to the level of IDR 13,350 /Kg at the close of last trade, one of the triggers was the increase in Indonesian CPO stocks in June 2022, in this case the government carried out extra efforts to immediately cut domestic supplies and support the price of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) which had fallen due to Indonesia's CPO export ban at the end of last May. In the news circulating, the official from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Dadan Kusdiana said that Indonesia will increase the content of palm oil-based fuel in its biodiesel to 35% known as B35 which will start on July 20. This is expected to absorb the swelling domestic supply of CPO and help increase the selling price of FFB so that farmers do not lose out.
