The full specification for the assessment is as below:

The new assessment will reflect the transactable value at 16:00:00 London time.

The increasing global supply of palm oil has led to a higher availability of PFAD residue available for various uses, including use as a renewable raw material in the production of biofuels. PFAD is used for animal feed as well as in the oleochemical industry. The launch of this assessment gives users greater clarity in understanding price movements.
