And if India wants to buy refine palm oil from other countries? Where? From Amsterdam, Europe? Hahaha! From China? Hahaha? Malaysia has the best and cheapest refine palm oil in the world.
India's surely cutting its nose to spite its face.
The figures to watch are not the twists and turns of Indian policies but the CPO futures price. And they respond only to demand and supply in arguably the freest market in the world - the CPO market. The same goes for all commodities.
No one can corner the market for virtually any commodity, wittingly or unwittingly (in India's case), without going bankrupt in the end.
well...i think the price isn't rallying today 1.)people unnerved by yesterday's drop 2.)the obvious news and 3.)the supply and demand sorting itself out for the immediate term. I think mid term it will rally back once the supply and demand is at equilibrium again.
But Malaysian CPO prices still high - well above RM3K per tonne. At this price all oil palm plantation companies, not just RSawit, will make hugh profits.
That piece of bad news is a big blow....market is reacting negatively...Operator smells blood and drive down the price....let operator do his job...Wait to buy lower with them.
RIMBUNAN SAWIT's main business segments include oil palm plantations and milling operations.
Its earning performance has been overall fluctuating in last five years, whereby its earning per share overall fluctuated from -6.54 sen to 0.23sen. The Group experienced considerable losses (-6.54 sen per share) in year 2018. The reduction was mainly due to significant cut in CPO price despite improving revenue on the back of higher sales volume.

@dalpinia...that actually sounds like a good idea..it's a lot less volatile a stock too....but....assuming there's no rebound here. Problem with selling out at lows is when a rebound happens it tends to be quick. Think it's a tough call.
Indian government and industry sources have told Reuters that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government was seeking to target Malaysia, after recent criticism of India by Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad
With PM step down soon, Indian boycott refine palm oil will soon lifted or Indian will further increase CPO purchase instead of import refine palm oil.
These higher import CPO to refine locally in Indian is to protect their refinery industry. Malaysia CPO is price lower if compared to Indonesia CPO due to lower freight cost, shorter distance.

Also it's 10 million tonnes they want. Indon production cannot meet demand. They want their CPO for their 100% CPO based bio-diesel.
Only people like George Soros can beat the market but only on a single transaction like shorting the GBP.
