My journey in palm oil began from the ground level of the industry: plantation operations, mill environments, physical CPO trading, commercial discussions and market analysis.
Over time, I observed the same challenge repeating across the value chain: important information often moves slowly, remains fragmented or stays hidden inside separate organizations. Farmers, mills, refiners, biodiesel producers, traders, exporters, importers and analysts all see different parts of the same market.
TradeCPO exists to bring these pieces closer together. Not only through price reporting, but through a deeper intelligence framework that connects physical market reality with data, policy, operations and long-term industry development.
TradeCPO was established in 2023 and is being built one observation, one relationship, one report and one database at a time.
