Europe RBD Palm Oil Price Trend
Q3 2025:
In Q3 2025, the RBD palm oil price index across Europe was shaped by regulatory and compliance pressures. The extended enforcement of import traceability and sustainability mandates under European policy frameworks added incremental cost burdens on importers and refiners. Premiums for certified sustainable palm oil increased, squeezing margins for non-certified batches. European buyers remained cautious in placing large contracts, balancing between cost and supply certainty. Logistics, port handling fees, and inland distribution costs across major European hubs contributed to price volatility.
Q2 2025:
The implementation of the EUDR at the end of 2024 significantly impacted the palm oil supply chain. The regulation requires companies to provide proof that the palm oil they import is not linked to deforestation. This led to a fall in palm oil imports to the European Union, as companies struggled to meet the new compliance requirements. The combination of reduced supply and regulatory challenges led to price volatility. While some regions experienced price increases due to tighter supplies, others saw stabilization or declines as producers adjusted to the new market dynamics.
Q1 2025:
As per the RBD palm oil price index, robust demand from the food processing, oleochemicals, and biodiesel sectors in Europe sustained prices. Besides, a weaker Euro against the US dollar increased import costs, keeping prices elevated in Europe. Moreover, the signs of economic recovery in European economies, maintained demand for RBD palm oil from end-user industries.

Moreover, the rising popularity of alternative vegetable oils, such as soybean and sunflower oil, led to shifts in procurement strategies among bulk buyers, affecting the demand for RBD palm oil.
Q1 2025:
Due to the restricted supply from important suppliers, market players in North America first relied on existing inventories, but these supplies were quickly depleted as demand remained robust.
