This week (as of Sept. 13), edible palm oil stock totals 567,500 tonnes at domestic ports, down 1.9% from 578,950 tonnes last week and up 39,800 tonnes or 7.5% from 527,700 tonnes the same period last month, and up 102,800 tonnes or 22.12% from 464,700 tonnes the same period last year. Meanwhile, industrial palm oil stock at main domestic ports totals 96,750 tonnes, up 4,450 tonnes or 4.8% from 92,300 tonnes last week.

The edible palm oil stocks further decline on the delay of palm oil arrivals, down to below 570,000 tonnes. However, the trading is light because the restocking ended, and the blending of palm oil with low melting point is limited by the drop in temperature. But with the average arrivals of 450,000 tonnes for next two month, stocks is predicted to rise.
