2020: Palm Oil Prices Explained
- Average CPO price over last 10 years is $US800
- Having traded as high as US$870 per tonne on 13 January 2020, global CPO prices have continued to move lower due to:
- lower demand for food products as a result of extreme measures around the world to suppress the spread of COVID-19 virus
- sharp fall in crude oil prices, which adversely impacts demand for biofuel - CPO is the primary feedstock for biofuel
- Material rebound in CPO prices over the past two months as countries seek to restock supplies post lock downs

Short to Medium Term: a global short of vegetable oil expected with price spike
- Palm Oil supply growth is slowing - Malaysian and Indonesia CPO growth is almost at a standstill
- Palm oil has the highest yield per hectare and supply replacement via soybean growth appears insurmountable
- Our view is we still expect a sharp increase in vegetable oil prices medium term
