Indonesia to ban palm oil exports to shore up supply, soya bean oil futures surge​

APR 22, 2022

JAKARTA (REUTERS) - Indonesia will effectively ban palm oil exports from April 28, until further notice, after President Joko Widodo announced on Friday (April 22) a halting of shipments of cooking oil and its raw material to control soaring domestic prices.
A previous move by Indonesia to restrict palm oil exports, introduced in late January and later lifted in March, sent global prices of the commodity to historic highs.
Its cooking oil derives mainly from palm oil, of which Indonesia is the world's biggest producer and exporter, and its measures to guarantee domestic supplies have rattled global markets.
In a short video broadcast, Mr Widodo said the policy aimed to ensure availability of food products at home.
"I will monitor and evaluate the implementation of this policy so availability of cooking oil in the domestic market becomes abundant and affordable," he said.
US soya bean oil (soyoil) futures jumped more than 3 per cent to hit a record high of 84.03 US cents per pound after Indonesia announced the ban.
The move will hurt consumers not only in biggest buyer India but globally, as palm oil is the world's most consumed oil, Mr Atul Chaturvedi, president of trade body the Solvent Extractors Association of India (SEA), told Reuters.


"This move is rather unfortunate and totally unexpected," he said.
"(The) sky would be the limit for edible oil prices now. Buyers were banking on palm oil after sunoil supplies fell because of the Ukraine war," a Mumbai-based dealer at a global trading firm said.
"Now they (buyers) don't have any option as soyoil supplies are also limited."
Officials at Indonesia's palm oil association Gapki did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
At home, retail prices of cooking oil were mostly sold at above 20,000 rupiah (S$1.90) per litre. In some provinces across Indonesia, cooking oil prices have nearly doubled in the past month alone, according to a price monitoring page.
Demonstrations by students have taken place in several cities across Indonesia in recent days over high cooking oil prices.
Indonesia's government has set a cap of 14,000 rupiah per litre for bulk cooking oil, but officials have said many retailers were still selling them over the limit.
A state probe is underway into alleged corruption in the issue of sought-after export permits. The Attorney General's Office last week named a senior trade ministry official and three palm oil executives as suspects.

Malaysia to stop exporting 3.6 million chickens a month from June 1​

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia will stop the export of 3.6 million whole chickens a month until production and prices stabilise, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Monday (May 23).
This will start on June 1.
More overseas abattoirs will also be recognised to boost the country’s chicken supply, and import permits for poultry will be scrapped.
“The government views seriously the issue of the chicken supply and rising prices that are affecting the people,” Datuk Seri Ismail said in a statement.
The moves come as the country faces a shortage of chickens along with soaring prices.
Malaysia exported more than 49 million live chickens in 2020, as well as 42.3 tonnes of chicken and duck meat, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries' Department of Veterinary Services data.
Singapore imported almost 73,000 tonnes of chicken in 2021 - more than a third of its chicken supply - from Malaysia. Chicken is the most widely consumed meat in Singapore, with a per capita consumption of 36kg in 2020, according to data from the Singapore Food Agency.

​

Mr Ismail said buffer stocks will also be kept in cold storage facilities while the process to claim subsidies by breeders will be simplified.
The government is aware of reports that cartels were controlling the prices and production of chicken, he said.
The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) is investigating the matter and the probe is expected to be completed by June.

The government has fixed a retail ceiling price of RM8.90 (S$2.80) per kilogram, and is giving poultry farmers a subsidy of 60 sen per kg from Feb 5 to June 4.
However, only RM50 million of subsidies of the RM729.43 million due have been paid out to breeders so far.
Mr Ismail said: “Several large companies are not interested in applying for the subsidies and want the government to allow the price of chicken to be determined by the market.”

The weekly Cabinet meeting, which usually takes place on Wednesday, was pushed forward to Monday in order to discuss the poultry shortage that has caused chicken prices to soar.
Wholesale prices have reportedly soared to around RM13 per kg at markets in the Klang Valley, while some stalls were said to have closed due to a lack of supply.
According to reports, poultry farmers have halted output due to a delay in government subsidy payouts.


The Federation of Livestock Farmers’ Associations of Malaysia (FLFAM) has denied that breeders were deliberately holding back the supply of chickens.
A livestock farm in Melaka was said to have issued a notice that supplies would cease on May 21 and 22 because chickens were not gaining weight.
Poultry farmers have warned the government that sustained low ceiling prices for chicken and eggs would hurt the industry in the long run.
They said they are struggling amid the skyrocketing cost of feed due to the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, which has throttled grain supplies from both countries.
Russia is also a major producer of fertiliser that is needed to grow the grain.
Meanwhile, a targeted oil subsidy for Malaysia’s lower-income group is being considered as rising crude oil prices push the subsidy bill higher.
International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali said this was necessary after an increase in the fuel subsidy projection for 2022 to RM28 billion, from RM11 billion last year.

India plans to limit sugar exports in new risk to global food prices​

May 24, 2022

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI (REUTERS, BLOOMBERG) - India plans to restrict sugar exports for the first time in six years to prevent a surge in domestic prices, potentially capping this season's exports at 10 million tonnes, a government source told Reuters on Tuesday (May 24).
The aim is to ensure there are adequate stockpiles before the next sugar season starts in October, according to a person familiar with the matter. The move may be announced in the coming days, the person said.
The export limit would be another protectionist move after India banned wheat sales just over a week ago.
India is the world's biggest sugar producer and the second biggest exporter behind Brazil, and it counts Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia and Dubai among its top customers.
A spokesman for both the food and commerce ministries did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
India took the world by surprise earlier this month when it curbed exports of wheat after a heatwave destroyed some crops, causing a jump in benchmark prices.
Steps by governments to ban sales abroad, particularly in Asia, have ramped up in recent weeks since Russia's invasion of Ukraine sparked a further surge in already-soaring global food prices.

Other recent measures by governments in Asia include Indonesia's ban on palm oil exports and Malaysia halting chicken sales abroad.
The latest step on sugar appears to be an extreme case of precaution given domestic supplies are abundant. India is expected to produce 35 million tonnes this season and consume 27 million tonnes, according to the Indian Sugar Mills Association.
Including last season's stockpiles of about 8.2 million tonnes, it has a surplus of 16 million tonnes, including as much as 10 million for exports. An export halt is likely to have a significant impact on the global sugar market given India is a major producer and exporter.
Once shipments hit 9 million tonnes, exporters will have to apply for permits to send the remaining 1 million tonnes, the person said.
Companies have signed deals to ship 8.5 million tonnes since Oct 1 last year. An estimated 7.1 million tonnes have been shipped as at end-April, and another 800,000 to 1 million tonnes are likely to be exported in May, the industry group said last week.

India bans wheat exports as food security comes under threat​

MAY 15, 2022

MUMBAI (BLOOMBERG) - India prohibited wheat exports that the world was counting on to alleviate supply constraints sparked by the war in Ukraine, saying that the food security of the nation is under threat.
Exports will still be allowed to countries that require wheat for food security needs and based on the requests of their governments, India’s Directorate General of Foreign Trade said in a notification dated May 13. All other new shipments will be banned with immediate effect.
Food secretary Sudhanshu Pandey said at a media briefing on Saturday (May 14) that higher local wheat prices prompted the ban, and that costs are likely to fall after the move.
The policy will allow some supplies to be diverted to the needy and vulnerable people across the world, commerce secretary B.V.R. Subrahmanyam said at the same event.
The decision to halt wheat exports highlights India’s concerns about high inflation, adding to a spate of food protectionism since the war started.
India is a crucial supplier of wheat to its neighbours, according to The Hindu newspaper.
Apart from Afghanistan which recently received large consignments of wheat from India on humanitarian grounds, Bangladesh is another big importer wheat.


India produced around 7 million tonnes of wheat during the financial year 2021-2022 (April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2002) and out of that, nearly 50 per cent was imported by Bangladesh.
In 2020, Indian wheat made up 5.8 per cent of Singapore’s total wheat flour imports, Business Times reported.
According to UN Comtrade data, Singapore imports between 200,000 and 250,000 tons of wheat and 100,000 to 120,000 tons of wheat flour annually. But not from Russia or Ukraine. Australia, the United States and Canada are the top 3 sources of wheat for Singapore.


Traders predicted chaotic trading on the international wheat markets when they open at the start of next week as India's ban would be a blow to buyers looking for wheat supplies, said the Financial Times.
“It’s an absolute bombshell,” said Mr Swithun Still, a grain trader based in Switzerland. “There will be panic on the wheat futures markets when they open,” he added.

Governments around the world are seeking to ensure local food supplies with agriculture prices surging.
Indonesia has stopped palm oil exports, while Serbia and Kazakhstan imposed quotas on grain shipments.
Curbing exports would be a hit to India’s ambition to cash in on the global wheat rally after the war upended trade flows out of the Black Sea breadbasket region.
Importing nations have looked to India for supplies, with top buyer Egypt recently approving the South Asian nation as an origin for wheat imports.
German Agriculture Minister Cem Oezdemir said he and his Group of Seven counterparts had discussed “with concern” on Saturday both Indonesia’s decision to limit exports of palm oil and India’s move to halt wheat exports.
“If we all started imposing these export limits, or even closed down markets, that just makes the crisis worse,” Mr Oezdemir said at a news conference in Stuttgart. “It also hurts India itself and the farmers there because of course it means a roller-coaster ride for prices.”
“We now have an environment with another supplier removed from contention in global trade flows,” said Mr Andrew Whitelaw, a grains analyst at Melbourne-based Thomas Elder Markets, adding that he’s been skeptical about the high volumes expected from India.
“The world is starting to get very short of wheat,” Mr Whitelaw said.
At present, the US winter wheat is in poor condition, France’s supplies are drying out and Ukraine’s exports are stymied.
Bloomberg News reported earlier this month that a record-shattering heat wave has damaged wheat yields across the South Asian nation.
Shipments with irrevocable letters of credit that have already been issued will still be allowed, according to the latest notification.
Traders have contracted to export 4.5 million tons so far in 2022-23, the food ministry said. Turkey has also given approval to import Indian wheat , it said.
After the war hampered logistics in the Black Sea region, which accounts for about a quarter of all wheat trade, India has tried to fill the vacuum.
The country targeted to export a record 10 million tons in 2022-23. But hundreds of acres of wheat crops were damaged during India’s hottest March on record, causing yields to potentially slump by as much as 50 per cent in some pockets of the country, according to a Bloomberg survey.

S'pore eateries scramble to find other fresh chicken sources ahead of Malaysia's export halt​

May 24, 2022

SINGAPORE - With a week to go before Malaysia's export ban on chickens kicks in on June 1, eateries here are scrambling and working with suppliers to find alternative sources of fresh chicken.
On Monday (May 23), Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that his country will halt the export of up to 3.6 million chickens a month from June 1, until domestic prices and production stabilise.
Eateries like Taiwanese fried chicken chain Monga said Malaysia's decision will hit their business hard. The chain, which has three outlets here, gets its chicken solely from Malaysia.
"The F&B (food and beverage) industry has already taken a bad hit from Covid-19 and things have only started getting better for us recently... The ban is both untimely and brutal," said Mr Lem Cheong, director of operations at Baoshi F&B Management, which owns the Monga chain here.
The price increase in chicken was immediate, with its supplier saying that the price will go up by $1.20 per kg as of Tuesday.
"We are keeping our fingers crossed about the price hike after the ban kicks in (on June 1), but we are expecting prices to triple," said Mr Cheong, who added that his company is actively sourcing for alternatives.
According to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), about one-third of Singapore's chicken supply is imported from Malaysia. Other major sources include Brazil and the United States.


SFA said on Monday it will work with stakeholders to activate supply chains to increase imports of chilled and frozen chickens from alternative sources, or draw from poultry stocks.
Both restaurants and hawkers The Straits Times spoke to said getting fresh chickens will be an issue, but frozen chickens should still be available.
Veteran chef Damian D'Silva, who runs multicultural, heritage cuisine restaurant Rempapa in Paya Lebar, said: "Our supplier has indicated that it has already started sourcing from other countries, but even then, fresh chicken will be a problem because of transportation."

His menu includes several signature dishes that use fresh chicken from Johor, including nasi lemak, chicken curry and debal chicken.
As for how this will affect taste, he added: "I think we all know the difference between fresh and frozen (chicken), and we just have to lower our expectations till things improve."
Several hawkers at 84 Marine Parade Central Market and Food Centre said they will not be affected by the ban as they use frozen chicken.
One of them is Mr Stan T, 55, who runs curry chicken stall Tip Top Simply Curry.
He said there is a possibility that the price of frozen chicken will also increase, but he will try his best not to pass that on to his customers.

D'Authentic Nasi Lemak uses frozen chicken bought from NTUC FairPrice.
Stall owner Sulaiman Abu, 62, said: "Overall, I don't think my business will decrease by much... even if I cannot sell chicken. My stall sells other things as well.
Others are not as confident about business prospects in the coming months.
Ms Jane Yeo, who runs chicken rice stall Yi Lu Fa - which opened only a month ago - expects business to drop by 70 to 80 per cent. All of the stall's chicken comes from Malaysia.
"When I first heard the news, I was stunned, and thought to myself, 'What should I do?' And I felt like crying," said Ms Yeo, who is in her 40s.
"We will not close as we also sell roasted pork, but the chicken is the main star. The rest are just supporting characters.
"I really hope that the Government can step in to help us because there is very little we can do."

Big name brands are also assessing their options after the sudden announcement by the Malaysian government.
In response to queries from ST, chicken-centric fast-food chain KFC said it works with a diverse group of suppliers, and a portion of its chicken is from Malaysia.
"Since the latest news about Malaysia's decision to halt exports of chicken, we are still assessing the impact of the situation. Our team is working closely with our suppliers to continue serving chicken to our fans in Singapore," said its spokesman.
McDonald's, which has several chicken dishes on its menu, declined comment.
However, smaller players like home-based business Naked Chicken, which sells home-style fried chicken in limited quantities every week, is choosing to shut down for now.
In an Instagram post on Monday, it said it will cease operations indefinitely from May 30 as a direct result of the temporary Malaysian export ban.
The eatery's chickens, which come from its founders' family business Toh Thye San Farm, are GG French poulet - a high-quality breed from France, and are raised hormone-free, antibiotic-free and cage-free in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.


Consumers ST spoke to are resigned to the fact that the cost of living is going up.
"Even if I wanted to stop eating chicken due to the high price, wouldn't everything else also be expensive?" asked Ms Gloria Cheong, 69, a retired accountant.
"It feels like there's no alternative because everything is expensive and (prices are) increasing. So it's not like we can make major changes in our lifestyle in order to escape the high price... I can say I want to change to other meats, but the other meats will also be pricey."
Financial manager Jesslyn Lee, 42, who has a family of four, said that while the price of chicken is increasing, it is not yet impacting her lifestyle much.
"Maybe when it hits $6 for a regular plate of chicken rice, or over $15 for a whole spring chicken, I might start reconsidering (it as a staple in my family's diet)... For now, I guess it's okay," she added.

Some poultry sellers may shut stalls when chicken exports halt from Malaysia, price hike expected​

SINGAPORE - Some poultry sellers here said they may have to shut their stalls temporarily when Malaysia halts its exports of chickens in June, while others expect a price hike of about 10 to 30 per cent.
Meanwhile, consumers The Straits Times spoke to said they are not worried and will turn to other meats or buy frozen chicken from other countries.
Malaysia announced on Monday (May 23) that the country intends to stop exporting chickens in June.
Poultry sellers at Bedok North Market and Food Centre, Tiong Bahru Market and Geylang Serai Market told ST on Tuesday morning that the move will heavily impact their business.
These are stall operators who mainly get their chicken supply from across the Causeway.
Singapore imported about 34 per cent, or close to 73,000 tonnes, of its chicken supply from Malaysia in 2021.
Mr Yeow Wei Min, 61, who runs a chicken stall at 216 Bedok North Market and Food Centre, said the impending halt of chicken exports from Malaysia will be disastrous for his business. All of his fresh chicken supply comes from Malaysia.


He said: "There is nothing I can do about it, nor do I have any alternatives. If there is no supply then I will temporarily close my stall and take a rest. If this persists in the long term then I will close down this stall."
Mr Stanley Yow, 52, owner of Stanley Fresh Chicken at Tiong Bahru Market, said: "If they have 10 chickens, I'll sell 10. If they have 100, I'll sell 100. If they have no chickens, I'll just rest."
Mr Fabian Lim, 62, who works at a poultry stall at Geylang Serai Market, said prices will spike by about 20 to 30 per cent as the stall's fresh chicken is mainly from Malaysia.


"I have no choice but to increase prices, if we buy high than we have to sell high. All I hope for is that imports from other countries like China or Indonesia will increase and balance out the shortage," he said.
Mr Husni Hashim, 56, who sells poultry at another stall at Geylang Serai Market, said he plans to increase prices for his frozen chicken.
He said: "I will see what happens before deciding the price increase. If customers really want to eat chicken, they have to buy frozen chicken, they have no choice."
Mr Vincent Liow, 47, owner of Ken & Vin Fresh Poultry at Ghim Moh Market, said he will have to increase prices if suppliers raise the cost. All of his fresh chicken is sourced from Malaysia.
"Maybe we temporarily will go for frozen chickens until the export situation improves," he said.

But not all stall holders are concerned. Mr Hashim Abbas, 73, who runs a poultry stall at Geylang Serai Market, said he is not worried about Malaysia's decision to halt exports of chicken as he believes it will not last long.
All of his fresh chicken is from Malaysia, but his stall also sells frozen chicken from various countries including Brazil, Australia and Denmark.
"If Singaporeans cannot buy fresh chicken then there are other alternatives they can opt for like frozen chicken or other types of meat. I trust that the Government will be able to manage prices and supply."
In a report by The Straits Times on Monday, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said that importers will activate their supply chains to increase imports of chilled chicken from alternative sources, increase the import of frozen chicken from existing suppliers outside of Malaysia, or draw from their stocks of poultry.

President of the Consumers Association of Singapore (Case) Melvin Yong said in a Facebook post on Tuesday that the sudden announcement by Malaysia is likely to have an adverse impact on the prices of chicken and related products in Singapore. He encouraged consumers to consider alternative sources of chicken and meat products and frozen options.
He said: "Case understands that SFA is monitoring the situation very closely with relevant stakeholders to minimise the impact of Malaysia's move on our chicken supply."
He added that consumers should also buy what they need, and not buy excessively.
Online grocer RedMart and DFI Retail Group, which owns supermarkets Cold Storage and Giant, echoed the call for consumers not to panic buy.
Head of RedMart and Grocery at Lazada Singapore Jolin Huang said: “RedMart has a robust and diverse supply chain, and we import chicken from other countries including New Zealand and Brazil. In the light of the announcement by Malaysia, we will work with our suppliers from other countries to increase their volume and will closely monitor the situation.”
A DFI Retail Group spokesman said: “We are currently in discussions with non-Malaysian suppliers to increase imports of chilled poultry as well as other meats to offer more alternatives to consumers.”

Chicken suppliers noted that prices for poultry have been fluctuating for the past year due to the pandemic and higher operating costs.
Mr James Sim, head of business development at chicken importer Kee Song Food Corporation, said that rising inflation also impacts retail prices.
While Mr Sim could not comment on how much chicken prices might increase due to Malaysia’s decision, he said the company will continue to monitor the market and adjust prices accordingly.
The company, which works mainly with farms in Malaysia, has already had to increase prices a few times.
He said: “We do keep our consumers in mind when considering any price increase. We also encourage consumers not to panic buy as there will be enough stock for all.”
He added that besides fresh chicken, consumers can also opt for chilled or frozen poultry products.
Consumers who regularly eat chicken said that they are willing to eat other meats such as fish or mutton and will likely still continue to buy chicken if prices are not too steep.

Madam Olivia Ong, 73, a retired power supply clerk, said that although she buys chicken every week, she is willing to replace it with other types of meat if fresh chicken is not available.
She said: "I will just eat less chicken. I am not alarmed by the news and I won't start panic buying because of it."
Financial adviser and father-of-two Lee Wei Ming, 39, said that although his family eats chicken every week, they are also open to alternatives.
He said: "Whether or not we'll buy less chicken depends on how much prices increase. Chicken is the most common meat, but as consumers, we always have a choice to eat other meats."


Business owner and beauty therapist Cecilia Westberry, 59, who regularly shops at Ghim Moh market, said she has noticed prices creeping up for many food items in the past months.
"I think we should be careful not to waste food. Even if the chicken farms don't increase prices much, the retailers will, due to the rising costs of logistics and other operations."
She said she is not worried about a possible price hike for chicken. "I will keep buying chicken, as my family likes to eat it."

While Singapore is not an agrarian society & have little resources, it is port city that is strategically located on the planet where all compass point meets, & goods flow.

As each nation crawled out to a post covid world & international tensions high, the excess staple food for exports will be limited.

Unfortunately, agrarian societies will themselves starve if they rely on subsistence farming alone, as farming supply chains will be affected, eg-rent, fertilizers, mills, govt revenues, etc, if they do not try improve the situation.

Thus, Singaporeans need not live in fear or spread fear. There are 194 other countries on our planet whom are better managed for us to explore opportunities with.

While some Singaporeans will needlessly panic on the food shortage issue, others with good biz acumen will see it as a biz opportunity, not profiteering, but to meet shortages issues.

The shortages from other nations were not politically motivated but genuine unpreparedness with unforseen circumstances.

As Singapore is a strategically located port city with connections worldwide, we can venture to import MORE from other nations, then meet the shortages of not just for ourselves, but even those shortages of our neighbors.

We have many Multi storey wharehouses & some even come with cold rooms for chilled products & clear infrastructure supports-rds, access ways, etc.to handle cargo volumes.

We Singaporeans will help when & where we can. We will hurt & harm none, nor want to be hurt or harm by anyone.
