Palm oil distributors operate at the interface between commodity trading and downstream customer service. Key requirements from upstream bulk suppliers: Grade range coverage — distributors typically stock RBD Palm Olein (IV 56 standard and IV 60 super olein), RBD Palm Stearin, and RBD Palm Oil to serve their full customer range; consistent lot quality (COA from an accredited lab with FFA, PV, colour, IV per shipment — retail and food manufacturer customers will reject off-spec stock); flexibility on container type and packing — distributors may need ISO tank (liquid, 20–24 tonnes), flexitank (liquid in dry container, 22–24 tonnes), or drummed (200L steel or plastic drums, approximately 14.5–15 tonnes per 20ft container) depending on their customer's unloading infrastructure; documentation completeness (MPOB licence, COA, Halal certificate, Non-GMO statement, Certificate of Origin, Fumigation certificate if applicable — distributors often resell to multiple buyers and need clean, complete documentation sets); and RSPO supply chain model availability (Mass Balance as minimum for EU market distributors).
