Palm oil, palm kernel oil, palm olein and palm stearin are distinct trade products. Atlas keeps mesocarp oil separate from kernel oil and records the fraction, quality basis, origin, certification evidence, Incoterm and delivery window before comparing offers.
This release uses the amended 2026 Codex Standard for Named Vegetable Oils and USDA's oilseeds reporting framework. The figures below are specification boundaries, not production estimates or live physical prices.
Codex defines palm oil as oil from the fleshy mesocarp of oil-palm fruit, while palm kernel oil comes from the kernel. Fractionation creates palm olein and palm stearin with different physical characteristics. A quoted price without product form can therefore compare unlike goods.
The Codex standard provides product definitions, composition ranges, slip-point limits and analysis methods. A commercial record should also preserve free fatty acid, moisture and impurities, colour, refining state, packing or bulk basis, and the laboratory or certificate evidence used for acceptance.
Comparable palm-oil offers identify origin, mill or refinery where available, sustainability or chain-of-custody claim and supporting certificate, quantity, currency, Incoterm, load port or destination, delivery window and information vintage. Atlas does not infer certification or delivered cost from a generic benchmark.
No. Palm oil comes from the fruit mesocarp; palm kernel oil comes from the kernel and has different composition and uses.
They are liquid and higher-melting fractions produced by fractionating palm oil. The named fraction must stay attached to every specification and price.
No. The claim needs scheme, certificate or transaction evidence, scope, custody model, validity period and the parties covered.
Product form and fraction, refining state, quality limits, origin, certification evidence, quantity, currency, Incoterm, port or destination, delivery window and evidence date.
Figures retain their source, period and review date. Corroboration is not promoted to primary evidence.
