A plan to triple Indonesia's biodiesel subsidy will provide some relief to Southeast Asia's beleaguered renewable fuel industry, but it is unlikely to boost demand significantly given the slump in the price of rival petroleum products. That leaves benchmark palm oil futures vulnerable to a reversal after rallying 7 percent this month partly on the hope the Indonesian subsidy would boost use of the tropical oil for blending into biofuels.
