Indonesia’s palm oil exports rose 11.62% year-on-year
Indonesian palm oil exports reached 17.58 million tonnes in Jan–Sept 2025, up 11.6% year-on-year, increasing global supply and pressuring prices. September exports fell 6.9%. India’s edible oil imports in October dropped 20.7% to 1.27 million tonnes, including 600,000 tonnes of palm oil, reflecting weak demand and adding further downside pressure on prices.
According to data published by Statistics Indonesia, Indonesian palm oil exports (including crude palm oil and refined palm oil) totaled 17.58 million tonnes from January to September 2025, an 11.62% increase compared to the same period last year, Sun Sirs reports.
This indicates a significant increase in global supply. Without a simultaneous increase in demand, excess supply could lead to inventory buildup, putting downward pressure on palm oil spot prices. Prices are expected to remain at risk of decline in the short term.
Palm oil exports in September totaled 1.38 million tonnes, a 6.9% decrease year-on-year.
Meanwhile, according to distributor estimates, edible oil imports into India in October totaled only 1.27 million tonnes, a 20.7% decrease compared to the previous month. Palm oil imports in October are estimated at 600,000 tonnes. This indicates significantly low demand in the Indian market, possibly due to high inventory levels or reduced consumer demand, which also puts downward pressure on spot palm oil prices.
