According to EU data, the import volume of palm oil has significantly decreased by 18% since the beginning of 2024/25 compared to the same period last year. This downward trend clearly reflects the long-term constraint of the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) on palm oil demand.

The import volume from major supply countries has all declined, with a significant decrease of 24% from Indonesia, 16% from Malaysia, and 36% from Guatemala.

Specifically, as of May 18, 2025, the European Union imported 780,000 tons of palm oil from Indonesia in the 2024/25 fiscal year (from July to June of the following year), an increase of 10,000 tons from a week ago and a decrease of 25.2% from 1.05 million tons in the same period last year (a decrease of 23.8% last week). Indonesia's share in the total palm oil imports of the European Union has also decreased from 34.0% last year to 31.1%.
