Clarification of holiday schedule for POME price assessments

Fastmarkets wants to clarify that its holiday schedule for its Asian POME price assessments will follow the Singapore holiday calendar.

The two price assessments are as follows:

AG-PLM-0035 – Crude palm oil mill effluent, fob Malaysia, $/tonne
AG-PLM-0036 – Refined palm oil mill effluent, fob Indonesia, $/tonne

Both price assessments are published weekly on Thursdays.

As there are no remaining Singapore public holidays in 2026 that affect the schedule, both prices will continue to be published weekly for the rest of the year.

Please also note that the previous statement indicating publication would roll over on Malaysian and Indonesian holidays is no longer valid.

Fastmarkets’ pricing holiday calendar has been updated to reflect these changes.

This assessment will be a part of the Fastmarkets fats, oils and biofuels package.

To provide feedback on these price assessments, or if you would like to provide price information by becoming a data submitter for these prices, please contact pricing@fastmarkets.com and biofuels@fastmarkets.com using the subject heading “re: POME price assessments.” Please indicate if comments are confidential. Fastmarkets will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
