The trace

How it reaches your house.

Starting from Wilmar International, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.

1. First impact

   Wilmar International →Prices rise

   RBD Palm Oil (Confectionery & Bakery Fat)

   If Wilmar adds edible-oil factory capacity, it will likely need more RBD palm oil feedstock for confectionery and bakery fat, bidding up that input’s demand; the edge is moderately strong given the 20% share and only partial substitutability.

   66% confidence

   Wilmar International Limited →Prices rise

   Palm fresh fruit bunches (FFB)

   If Wilmar builds or revamps more edible-oil capacity, it will likely need more palm FFB; with a 45% share, low substitutability, and a 12-month replacement lead time, that should put upward pressure on FFB prices.

   Musim Mas Group →Prices rise

   Palm Kernel / Coconut Fatty Alcohols

2. Hop 2

   RBD Palm Oil (Confectionery & Bakery Fat) →Stands to benefit

   Indonesia

   Indonesia is the dominant source country for this input, so new factory capacity there directly benefits the country's supply position.

   84% confidence

   Vegetable Oil Blend (Palm Olein, Soy, Coconut, Sunflower) →supply up

   Infant formula

   Vegetable-oil blends are a critical infant-formula input, so more supply should lift formula availability.

   83% confidence

   Vegetable Oil Blend (Palm Olein, Soy, Coconut, Sunflower) →Stands to benefit

   AAK AB

   AAK AB relies on this blend for a meaningful share of its inputs, so extra supply should ease feedstock constraints.

3. Hop 3

   Indonesia →supply up

   RBD Palm Oil (Confectionery & Bakery Fat)

   Indonesia supplies a 59.6% share of this input, so planned factory expansions there should materially increase availability of RBD palm oil over time.

   95% confidence

   Snacks & confectionery →supply up

   RBD Palm Oil (Confectionery & Bakery Fat)

   New Indonesian edible-oil capacity should increase availability of RBD palm oil, a listed input to snacks & confectionery, supporting higher output of the finished good.
