NUSA DUA, Indonesia, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Indonesia's palm oil output is forecast to recover in 2025 after an anticipated drop this year, but rates are expected to stay elevated due to planned growth of the nation's biodiesel mandate, industry experts said.


The palm oil benchmark price in Malaysia has actually risen more than 35% this year, lifted by slow output and Indonesia's plan to increase the necessary domestic biodiesel mix to 40% in January from 35% now in an effort to decrease fuel imports.


Palm oil output next year in top manufacturer Indonesia is anticipated to recover by 1.5 million metric lots compared to an estimated drop of simply over a million loads this year, Julian McGill, managing director at Glenauk Economics, informed the Indonesia Palm Oil Conference on Friday.


Thomas Mielke, head of Hamburg-based research study company Oil World, said he expects Indonesia's palm oil production to increase by as much as 2 million lots next year after a 2.5 million heap drop in 2024.


While Indonesia's output is forecast to enhance, supply from elsewhere and of other veggie oils is seen tightening up.


Palm oil output in neighbouring Malaysia is anticipated to dip somewhat next year after increasing by an approximated 1 million loads in 2024.


"We would need a recovery in palm in 2025 because combined exports of soya, sunflower and rapeseed oils are declining," Mielke stated.


'FRIGHTENING' PRICE SURGE


The rate surge in palm oil in the previous seven weeks has been "frightening" for buyers, Mielke stated, including that it would rally by 10%-15% in January-March if Indonesia enforces the so-called B40 policy.


The Indonesia Palm Oil Association said additional feedstock of around 3 million tons will be required for B40 implementation, wearing down export supply.


The current palm oil premium has actually already caused palm to lose market share against other oils, Mielke added.


Malaysian palm oil rates are seen trading at around $950 to $1,050 per metric ton in 2025, McGill of Glenauk approximated.


Benchmark Malaysian palm oil touched 5,104 ringgit ($1,165.30) on Friday, the highest because mid-2022.


"Sentiment today is red-hot and very bullish, we need to take care," stated Dorab Mistry, director at Indian durable goods company Godrej International.


He forecast the Malaysian rate around 5,000 ringgit and above until June 2025.
