For the year 2013, global oils & fats production is estimated at 189 million MT compared to the 186 million MT in 2012 which would be an increase of 1.6% in oils and fats production. For 2014, the global oils and fats production is poised to exceed 190 million MT and palm oil again will be at the forefront of this increase in production.
Global palm oil production for 2013 is estimated at 56 million MT, compared to 53.7 million MT in 2012 reflecting an increase of 4.3%. The top two palm oil producing countries, Malaysia and Indonesia will contribute to 85% of the total global palm oil production and the importance of both countries cannot be overlooked as they contribute to almost 30% of the total global oils & fats production.
The price of crude palm oil in the beginning of 2013 was RM2,500/MT and fluctuated erratically from a low of RM2,167/MT in July to a high of RM2,670/MT in December. Among the reasons for the downward trend were the concern over the high stock levels of palm oil especially in the first quarter and the lower export figures reported by Malaysia in the second quarter of 2013. Nevertheless, demand by major consumers such as China, Pakistan and Iran has seen steady increases and this kept price fluctuation to a small range.
This paper will analyse issues that will affect palm oil price in 2014. The regional analysis on the demand and supply of oils and fats scenarios will be aggregated at the global level to forecast the demand and supply balance in 2014.
We use the Stock Usage Ratio (SUR) as our basis to determine the price forecasts as it is a useful indicator to show demand and price directions for 2014.
