What to look for when sourcing crude palm oil

Product specification

Crude palm oil is an unrefined oil that varies in acidity, moisture and impurity levels. Start with your intended use, such as further refining or direct industrial application, to set the relevant specification.

Quality parameters

Agree on free fatty acid (FFA) content, moisture and impurities (M&I), and color. These define the oil's condition and are checked by laboratory analysis.

Processing stage

Confirm that you are buying crude palm oil, not fractionated products like olein or stearin, or refined bleached deodorized (RBD) oil.

Storage and handling

Specify whether the oil is freshly milled or stored in tanks, and agree on heating and agitation conditions to prevent deterioration.

Quality acceptance

Quality of crude palm oil is judged by laboratory results, not sensory evaluation. Agree on the sampling method and which results will govern acceptance.

Analysis parameters
Set limits for FFA, M&I, peroxide value (PV) and color. Also specify the test methods and the accredited laboratory to use.
Sampling procedure
Define how samples are drawn from the tank, sealed, and sent to the lab. Pre-shipment and arrival samples should be compared.
Acceptance and claims
Retain the approved pre-shipment sample as the reference. Agree on inspection responsibilities and the deadline for raising quality claims.

Origin requirements

Origin influences oil quality and price, but also your sustainability and traceability requirements. Define the level of proof you need from the plantation to the port.

Country and region

State your preferred producing countries and, if needed, the specific province or plantation area. Ask for the mill location and the crop period.

Age and stock

Ask when the oil was produced and where it is stored. A fresh mill batch differs from aged tank stock in FFA and oxidation.

Sustainability evidence

If you require a certified sustainable supply, request the current certification scope and chain-of-custody documents that cover the specific volume.

Commercial terms

Crude palm oil is quoted against a benchmark price, often with a basis added or subtracted. Compare offers on the same price basis and delivery point.

Pricing basis: Confirm whether the price is fixed or floating, and which reference contract and month it follows. Clarify the basis level and the pricing date.
Delivery terms: Choose FOB at a named load port, CIF at the destination port or ex-tank at a storage depot. Align freight, insurance and port charges.
Order and payment: Agree on quantity tolerance, shipment window, payment method and any demurrage or despatch terms. Tank storage may have separate cost structures.

Documentation & compliance

Documentation for crude palm oil must match the cargo in volume and quality. Confirm what certificates the supplier can provide and what your destination requires.

Shipping documents: Align the invoice, bill of lading, weight certificate and quality certificate with the tank numbers and quantity loaded.
Sustainability certification: For a certified supply, request the certificate number and the supply chain model (Mass Balance, Segregated, etc.) that covers your shipment.
Destination rules: Check import requirements such as deforestation due diligence, food safety registration or pollution prevention. Confirm the data the supplier must provide.

Supplier capability

A mill, exporter and trader each play a different role in a crude palm oil transaction. Determine who is accountable for quality and delivery.

Production and stock
Identify whether the supplier is a mill with fresh fruit, a storage operator with tank capacity, or a trader sourcing from multiple origins. Ask about available volume.
Quality control
Ask how the supplier monitors FFA and M&I during storage and loading, and how they handle a quality deviation before shipment.
Contract execution
Confirm the supplier's experience with export documentation, vessel nomination and claim resolution. For small lots, ask about consolidation or destination stock.
