Common questions
Is this a CPO price API?
Yes. The release covers Indonesian CPO government references and Malaysian CPO local-delivered market averages, alongside separate FFB prices. FCPO futures are not included.
Why are there several prices in one response?
One authority schedule can publish different prices by tree age. Narwhal keeps those rows together.

Indonesian CPO starts in August 2022. The Malaysian CPO archive starts in January 2020 and Malaysian FFB in July 2020. Coverage varies by region, with missing or conflicting reports excluded.
