Higher palm oil demand, tight supply boost Golden Agri's optimism for rest of the year
Pandemic recovery boosts demand but supply is limited due to weather conditions, says director
Singapore
PALM oil plantation owner Golden Agri-Resources is positive on the outlook for the rest of the year amid favourable demand and supply dynamics.
In a call to discuss the company's financial results for the first half of the year ended June, the group's director for investor relations Richard Fung said that on one hand, demand for crude palm oil (CPO) has been stoked by countries recovering from the brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resumption of economic activity. On the other hand, supply has been kept tight due to dry weather conditions in producing countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
