2021-04-06 www.cofeed.com

I. National stocks

 

Edible palm oil stocks in China take a further dip this week as boatloads arrival remains low. In the week ending Apr 2, edible palm oil stocks in China total 419,300 tonnes at nationwide ports, down 4.57% from 439,400 tonnes last week; down 179,700 tonnes or 30% from 599,000 tonnes in the previous month; down 305,700 tonnes or 42.17% from 725,000 tonnes in the corresponding period last year. In the same period in former years, palm oil inventories were 762,200 tonnes in 2019, 689,100 tonnes in 2018 and 547,100 tonnes in 2017. On an average from 2016-2020, palm oil stocks reached 641,500 tonnes. Additionally, industrial palm oil stock at domestic ports amounts to 117,300 tonnes, a descent of 1,700 tonnes or 1.43% versus 119,000 tonnes in the previous week. Edible palm oil stockpiles will likely keep falling in the near term result from lower palm oil imports in April.
