Development of Sustainable Palm Supply Chain Becomes a Linchpin for Palm Oil Market Stakeholders

Amidst Sustainability Challenges, Palm Oil is Here to Stay in the Food Service Industry

Palm oil with its largest share in the global vegetable oils market has become a vital ingredient in the foodservice sector. Although the total amount of palm oil used remains untraceable till date owing to the labelling of palm oil under vegetable oil category, demand for palm oil in the food industry owing to its high saturated fatty acid content remains indispensable. Despite the presence of palm oil alternatives, easy accessibility and affordable cost of palm oil make it the most preferable choice in the foodservice industry. However, growing demand for transparency in food labelling and ongoing efforts to establish a traceable and sustainable palm supply chain is anticipated to add complexity for foodservice manufacturers operating in the palm oil marketplace.

Growing Preference for Substitute Products to Influence Crude Palm Oil Prices

While palm oil dominates the vegetable oils market due to its intrinsic property of higher saturated fatty acid content, soybean, rapeseed, sunflower and other oils can be used as substitutes for palm oil. Although these liquid oil substitutes lack the solid fats similar to palm oil, hydrogenation of liquid oil can deliver consistency like solid fats of palm oil. Soybean and rapeseed oils that are partially or completely hydrogenated can provide consistency similar to palm oil and are considered close palm oil substitutes. In particular, affordable prices of soybean oil is becoming the close competitor of the palm oil market which is currently affected by sustainability factor.

Demand from Biofuel Sector to Prominently Impact Palm Oil Prices

As an affordable feedstock, palm oil dominates the biofuel sector, however, questions continue to arise regarding the greenness of biofuels over fossil fuels. Particularly in the case of palm oil, irresponsible farming practices have created sustainability issues. Across the global palm oil supply chain, stringent policies have significantly impacted the palm production. Recently, EU has revealed phase-out of palm oil from the transport fuel from 2021 with the intention to control irresponsible palm production practices. These factors combined with the volatility in the Brent crude prices are expected to influence the palm oil prices in the near future.
