InfoSAWIT, PADANG – Fresh fruit bunch (FFB) prices in Indonesia's West Sumatra province increased during the fourth pricing period of October 2026, with palms aged 10–20 years fetching Rp3,748.80 per kilogram. The price rose by Rp53.44/kg from the previous period.

The new prices apply from October 22–31, 2026, following a meeting of the West Sumatra Provincial FFB Pricing Team held on Monday (October 26, 2026), at the Plantation Division Hall on Jalan Rasuna Said No. 77, Padang.

According to the pricing minutes reviewed by InfoSAWIT, the decision was issued by the West Sumatra Provincial Office of Food Crops, Horticulture and Plantations. The pricing structure covers palm trees aged three to 25 years, with rates varying according to plantation age.

The FFB pricing index, known as Index K, was set at 93.90% for the period.

The following are the official FFB prices in West Sumatra for October 22–31, 2026:

3 years: Rp2,948.66/kg

4 years: Rp3,114.90/kg

5 years: Rp3,299.23/kg

6 years: Rp3,406.24/kg

7 years: Rp3,536.77/kg

8 years: Rp3,666.89/kg

9 years: Rp3,739.11/kg

10–20 years: Rp3,748.80/kg

21 years: Rp3,606.95/kg

23 years: Rp3,545.30/kg

24 years: Rp3,378.95/kg

25 years: Rp3,339.50/kg

The pricing formula uses a CPO reference price of Rp14,808.97/kg, a palm kernel price of Rp12,300/kg, and a shell value of Rp15.34/kg. These components are calculated alongside Index K to determine FFB prices by plantation age.

According to the pricing minutes, the rates serve as a reference for farmer cooperatives (KUDs) partnering with palm oil companies in West Sumatra.

The next pricing period, covering November 1–7, 2026, is scheduled to be determined on Tuesday (November 3, 2026). (T2)
