InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – Indonesia’s crude palm oil (CPO) price at PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (KPBN Inacom) edged higher on Friday, August 14, 2026, while Malaysian palm oil futures closed lower as traders weighed rising inventories in Malaysia and weaker soybean oil prices in Chicago.

KPBN set the CPO price at IDR 15,700 per kilogram on Friday, up IDR 12 per kg, or around 0.08%, from IDR 15,688 per kg recorded on Thursday, August 13.

According to information obtained by InfoSAWIT from KPBN, the Franco Dumai CPO price was set at IDR 15,700 per kg, while the FOB Talang Duku price stood at IDR 15,450 per kg.

At Franco Teluk Bayur, the CPO offer opened at IDR 15,500 per kg but was subsequently withdrawn. The highest bid was recorded at IDR 15,367 per kg.

Meanwhile, the CPO price at Loco PKS Sei Tapung stood at IDR 15,461 per kg.

Malaysian Palm Oil Futures Decline

On the Malaysian market, crude palm oil futures ended lower on Friday as market participants reacted to higher Malaysian palm oil inventories and weakness in Chicago soybean oil.

The benchmark palm oil futures contract for October 2026 delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange fell RM13 per metric ton, or about 0.28%, to RM4,711 per metric ton.

Despite the daily decline, the benchmark contract still gained around 0.73% over the week, indicating that the broader market remained relatively firm.

The downward pressure was largely linked to Malaysia’s palm oil stockpile. Data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) showed that palm oil inventories at the end of July climbed to their highest level in five months.

The increase came as Malaysian palm oil production remained relatively strong, while export demand had yet to fully absorb the additional supply.

Other vegetable oils also influenced market sentiment. On the Dalian exchange, the most-active soybean oil futures contract rose 1.04%, while palm oil futures gained 1.43%. In contrast, soybean oil futures on the Chicago Board of Trade fell 0.37%.
