InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – Indonesia’s palm oil export performance continued its positive trend in February 2026, supported by both higher export volumes and stronger global prices.

According to data from the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI), Executive Director Mukti Sardjono stated that export value reached US$3.69 billion in February 2026, an increase of 9.70% from US$3.36 billion in January.

“The export value of palm oil products rose from US$3.36 billion in January to US$3.69 billion in February, up 9.70%. On a year-on-year basis, export value reached US$7.05 billion by February 2026, which is 28.88% higher than US$5.47 billion in 2025,” he explained.

He added that the increase was driven not only by higher export volumes but also by improved price trends in the international market.

“The average price for January–February 2026 reached US$1,306 per ton CIF Rotterdam, higher than US$1,218 per ton in the same period of 2025,” he noted.

With an initial stock of 2.068 million tons at the beginning of 2026, total production of CPO and PKO reaching 10.737 million tons, domestic consumption at 4.409 million tons, and exports at 6.378 million tons, ending stocks in February 2026 stood at 2.026 million tons.
