Prices range from Rp3,031.79/kg for three-year-old palms, rising progressively to Rp3,897.19/kg for eight-year-old plantations before peaking at Rp3,913.28/kg for nine-year-old palms.
For mature plantations aged 10–20 years, the official price was set at Rp3,873.28/kg, while prices gradually declined for older trees, reaching Rp3,294.66/kg for 30-year-old palms.
The pricing committee also established the reference CPO price at Rp15,795.00/kg, palm kernel at Rp14,983.02/kg, shell value at Rp24.45/kg, and the K index at 92.40%, which serves as the basis for calculating FFB prices across the province.
