ii. Indonesia delayed its B35 biodiesel mandate start date to 1 Feb (from Jan). However, the total allocation for 2023 remains at 13.15m kL (12.9m tonnes), up 20% from 2022’s 11m kL (10.8m tonnes), which we believe could be ambitious. YTD-Nov 2022, Indonesia has produced 10.78m kL of biodiesel;
iii. Discount between CPO and SBO is rangebound at c.USD470/tonne – demand should remain robust. China’s PO imports are now down 24% YTD-Nov 2022 (from -34% in YTD-Oct), while India’s PO imports in YTD-Nov 2022 are now up 7% YoY (from -1% in YTD-Oct 2022);
iv. China and India favoured Indonesian palm oil, as their Dec 2022 stock levels rose despite declining Malaysia’s exports. China’s stock levels rose to 52% above historical levels (from 37% in Nov 2022) supported by restocking activities for the Lunar New Year festivities while India’s stock levels rose to 39% above historical levels (from 14% in Nov 2022), likely due to importers taking advantage of lower import duty structure on refined PO before its expiry end-2022. However, the lower duty structure has now been extended until 31 Mar 2024;
v. The POGO spread remains negative – with gas oil at USD21.12/bbl (USD155/tonne) cheaper than CPO – making it no longer financially feasible to produce biodiesel without subsidies. This is reflected in Indonesia’s biodiesel export volume in Nov, which fell 89% MoM.
