Summary
On October 19, 2026, an El Nino-powered drought caused the Kapuas River to recede, creating significant transportation challenges for the Multi Prima Entakai palm oil mill. The emergence of sandbanks in the river has stranded barges, forcing the mill to rely on transport with less capacity than the standard barges. These logistical constraints, combined with full storage tanks, have led the mill to reduce its purchases of fresh fruit bunches from local farmers. Industry groups including GAPKI and APKASINDO have noted that the resulting supply chain disruptions are expected to contribute to a 12-15% decline in palm oil output for the fourth quarter.
