SECTOR | Nigeria : Palm Oil Sector Update : Prices to remain elevated in H1’25 on supply constraints

The oil palm market in 2025 is expected to maintain elevated CPO prices, particularly in the first half, driven by robust demand from biodiesel mandates, festive seasons and geopolitical factors affecting some substitute oils. However, supply-side improvements, particularly from favourable weather conditions, may temper prices in the latter half of the year. Locally, we expect prices to remain elevated on account of rising demand and elevated FX rates, which bodes well for the local players.
