据路透社11月28日吉隆坡报道，由于关键市场需求持续，世界上最大的棕榈油生产商，马来西亚FGV控股公司周四预测，第四季度毛棕榈油（CPO）价格将在每吨2200至2400林吉特之间。

FGV 对10月至12月期间CPO的预测，高于此前三个月估计的每吨1983林吉特(约475.54美元)的平均价格。

FGV集团首席执行官哈里斯 法兹拉赫 哈桑表示，该公司的出口将继续受到来自印度、巴基斯坦和中国这三个最大市场强劲需求的支撑，这三个市场一直在争相购买廉价的棕榈油。

FGV在7月至9月期间净亏损2.624亿林吉特，这是其连续第六个季度亏损，去年同期亏损8.495亿林吉特。

哈桑表示，公司收入较去年同期上升了11%，至35亿林吉特，去年同期为32亿林吉特，原因是运营绩效显著提高，以更低的成本带来更高的收益率。

FGV预计，马来西亚和印度尼西亚推动其国内生物柴油供应中棕榈油混合物的增加将支持CPO价格,基于外部估计数，其希望2020年上半年CPO价格达到每吨2400至2800林吉特。

Malaysia's FGV sees palm oil prices at 2,200-2,400 ringgit/T in Q4

Malaysia’s FGV Holdings Bhd , the world’s largest palm oil producer, on Thursday forecast crude palm oil (CPO) prices in the range of 2,200 to 2,400 ringgit in the fourth quarter due to sustained demand in key markets.

FGV’s forecast for the October-December period is higher than its estimated average price of 1,983 ringgit ($475.54) per tonne for the previous three months..

The company’s exports will continue to be supported by firm demand from its three biggest markets of India, Pakistan and China, which have been “scrambling” to purchase cheap palm oil, FGV Group CEO Haris Fadzilah Hassan said.

FGV posted a net loss of 262.4 million ringgit over the July-September period, its sixth straight quarterly loss, versus a loss of 849.5 million ringgit a year ago.

Revenue rose 11% to 3.5 billion ringgit compared to 3.2 billion ringgit a year ago, on “significantly improved operational performance” that brought higher yields at lower costs, Haris said.

FGV expects the push by Malaysia and Indonesia to ramp up the palm oil blend in its domestic biodiesel supply will support CPO prices, which it hopes will hit a range of 2,400 to 2,800 ringgit in the first half of 2020 based on external estimates.
