No Official Price Listed for 26- to 30-Year-Old Palms
The official pricing document did not include a specific FFB price for palms aged 26 to 30 years.
The Jambi Plantation Agency said companies using an FFB price for that age category may establish an agreement with their partner smallholders in accordance with applicable regulations.
The average CPO price used in the calculation was set at IDR 15,401.29 per kg, while the average palm kernel price stood at IDR 12,801.62 per kg.
The shell value was set at IDR 21.52 per kg, while the K index, a key component in determining smallholder FFB prices, stood at 93.54%.
The latest adjustment means Jambi’s official FFB reference price for the 10- to 20-year age category remains below the previous period, reflecting changes in the underlying CPO and palm kernel price components used by the provincial pricing team.
The official prices apply to smallholders participating in the provincial pricing and partnership system, while actual transaction prices at the plantation level may differ depending on local conditions and agreements between companies and smallholders. (T2)
