<br>NUSA DUA, Indonesia, Nov 8 (Reuters) palm oil output is forecast to recuperate in 2025 after an [expected drop](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) this year, but rates are anticipated to remain elevated due to organized growth of the country's [biodiesel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) required, market experts said.<br>
<br>The palm oil benchmark rate in Malaysia has actually increased more than 35% this year, lifted by sluggish output and Indonesia's plan to increase the mandatory domestic [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) blend to 40% in January from 35% now in an effort to reduce fuel imports.<br>
<br>Palm oil output next year in leading manufacturer Indonesia is expected to recover by 1.5 million metric heaps compared with an [estimated drop](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) of simply over a million heaps this year, Julian McGill, handling director at Glenauk Economics, informed the Indonesia Palm Oil Conference on Friday.<br>
<br>Thomas Mielke, head of [Hamburg-based](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) research company Oil World, said he anticipates Indonesia's palm oil production to increase by as much as 2 million loads next year after a 2.5 million load drop in 2024.<br>
<br>While Indonesia's output is [forecast](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) to improve, supply from somewhere else and of other vegetable oils is seen tightening up.<br>
<br>Palm oil output in neighbouring Malaysia is anticipated to dip slightly next year after increasing by an [estimated](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) 1 million loads in 2024.<br>
<br>"We would require a recovery in palm in 2025 due to the fact that combined exports of soya, sunflower and rapeseed oils are declining," Mielke said.<br>
<br>'FRIGHTENING' PRICE SURGE<br>
<br>The price rise in palm oil in the previous seven weeks has actually been "frightening" for purchasers, Mielke stated, [including](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) that it would rally by 10%-15% in January-March if [Indonesia imposes](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) the [so-called](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) B40 policy.<br>
<br>The [Indonesia Palm](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) Oil Association stated additional feedstock of around 3 million tons will be [required](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) for B40 implementation, wearing down export supply.<br>
<br>The current palm oil premium has actually already caused palm to lose market share versus other oils, Mielke included.<br>
<br>Malaysian palm oil costs are seen [trading](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) at around $950 to $1,050 per metric lot in 2025, McGill of Glenauk estimated.<br>
<br>Benchmark Malaysian palm oil touched 5,104 ringgit ($1,165.30) on Friday, the highest because mid-2022.<br>
<br>"Sentiment right now is red-hot and incredibly bullish, we need to be careful," stated Dorab Mistry, director at Indian customer products business Godrej [International](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).<br>
<br>He [forecast](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) the [Malaysian rate](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) around 5,000 [ringgit](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) and above up until June 2025.<br>
<br>Mielke and Mistry prompted Indonesia to<br>
<br>think about delaying<br>
<br>B40 execution on concern about its [influence](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) on food customers.<br>
<br>Meanwhile, Mistry anticipated top palm oil importer India to withdraw its<br>
<br>import duty walking<br>
<br>imposed from September after [elections](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) in the state of Maharashtra in November. ($1 = 4.3800 ringgit) (Reporting by Bernadette Christina Munthe Writing by Fransiska Nangoy
