The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index went up 1.4% to 169.1 points in August 2025, reaching the highest level since June 2022, driven by higher quotations for palm, sunflower and rapeseed oils, which more than offset a slight decline in soyoil values. International palm oil prices rose for the third consecutive month in August, largely underpinned by robust global import demand and news of Indonesia’s intention to further raise its biodiesel blending mandate in 2026. source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
