- An Indonesian converter reported to SSESSMENTS.COM that the company decided to purchase PP Homo Raffia cargoes from a local producer at IDR13,700,000/ton ($930/ton) on cash, FD Indonesia basis, and excluding 10% VAT with the number of purchase of 140 tons. The converter stated that the company’s monthly production needs for PP Homo Raffia decreased around 80-180 tons as the finished product demand has been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. The converter added that there are still some orders coming in for flour packaging and harvest preparation.
- A Thai trader commented to SSESSMENTS.COM following the upwards adjustment made by the local producers for PP Homo Raffia cargoes this week.
