SAMARINDA - The price of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFB) in East Kalimantan Province (Kaltim) for the period 16-30 June 2022 fell to Rp2,349.28.

"Two weeks earlier, the price of FFB harvested from oil palm trees aged 10 years and over reached Rp. 2,818.85," said the head of the East Kalimantan Provincial Plantation Service, Ujang Rachmad, as quoted by Antara, Friday, July 1.

The price of FFB in East Kalimantan is set twice a month and applies backwards, i.e. it is set in the middle of the month for prices on the 1-15th, then set at the end of the month for prices that apply from 16 to 30 or 31 per month.

The determination applies backwards because the pricing team must obtain valid data from the palm oil company, in this case, the company must submit the data needed for FFB pricing at least one day before the price fixing meeting.
