How Wilmar could reap gains from lower CPO prices

It could lead to lower export tax rates.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, Wilmar is a beneficiary of lower CPO prices on the back of its mid-to-downstream niche in the market.

Here's more:

In general, companies with a midto-downstream exposure stand to benefit from a lower CPO price environment.

This is because the prices of their final products, namely, cooking oils and fats, do not decline by the same magnitude as CPO prices due to price stickiness at the retail level and the fact that they are food staples.

In addition, lower CPO prices enable mid-to-downstream companies to enjoy lower export tax rates. This has therefore led to an expansion of margins at the downstream level.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
