Stay updated with the latest Palm Stearin prices, historical data, and tailored regional analysis
Malaysia's average monthly price of Palm Stearin stood at approximately USD 1,099.50/MT (FOB) and around USD 1,103.50/MT, respectively, in the first two months of the third quarter of 2026. In China, average import prices were about USD 1,109.50/MT (CIF) in July and nearly USD 1,113.50/MT in August, with both the region showing only marginal increase. Early in the quarter, rising Malaysian palm output and stocks offset stronger exports, which kept stearin values steady. Support came in August, when weather concerns and Indonesia's biodiesel programme reduced the palm oil available for export, and higher energy prices lifted the wider vegetable oil market. However, stearin did not follow palm oil's full rise, as steady refining and fractionation kept plenty of stearin on the market. By September, Malaysian inventories had reached a multi-month high, exports had slowed and buyers in India and China held back, pushing palm prices lower and weighing on stearin.

In Malaysia, the average monthly prices of Palm Stearin stood at ~USD 1,109/MT (FOB) in June, the lowest across the tracked regions. Malaysian conditions remained comparatively soft during Q2 as improving palm-derived oil availability and steady refinery operations increased material accessible to regional buyers. Wider Southeast Asian supply also strengthened, with USDA estimating Malaysian palm kernel oil production at 2.22 million MT and exports near 1.15 million MT for 2025/26. Although palm kernel oil is not a direct feedstock for palm stearin, the increased availability across related palm-based oils reduced substitution pressure within oleochemical and soap applications. Palm Stearin in India was assessed at an average of ~USD 1,176/MT (CIF) in June. Indian values remained higher because of freight and import costs, while soap, detergent and industrial-fat demand provided support. The average price of Palm Stearin in China came in at ~USD 1,119/MT (CIF) in June. Chinese buyers maintained need-based purchases as adequate regional supply reduced urgency to rebuild inventories.
