Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for palm-kernel oilcake in Melanesia increased from 69 420 t in 2018 to 97 573 t in 2022, demonstrating sustained growth across five years. A minor contraction followed in 2023, with the market size easing to 94 414 t.

In 2024, export volumes surged to 14 778 t. This rise aligns with Indonesia's implementation of export allocation rules for palm oil residues, which constrained its overseas supply, and the European Union's Deforestation Regulation, which altered global trade dynamics for palm-derived products.
