Palm Kernel Oil prices surged in November 2023 due to high demand across various industries, compounding supply chain issues. The increased popularity of Palm Kernel Oil in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, combined with disrupted supply chains, led to higher prices. Factors such as inflation, fluctuating currency values, and rising production costs also contributed to the price surge. However, prices are projected to drop moderately in the near future, prompting merchants to clear their stockpiles at discounted rates.
