Palm Kernel Shell Price per Ton: What Affects Your Quote
Buyers often search for one palm kernel shell price per ton. Useful quotes depend on quality basis, volume, logistics and commercial terms. This guide explains what to compare. It does not publish a current market price.
Why a single public price is not enough
PKS lots differ in moisture, ash, size, fines and foreign matter. A lower headline price can cost more if the fuel does not match the plant.
Quote date and currency matter. Freight and destination change delivered cost even when ex-works talks look similar.
Treat online averages as orientation only. Ask for a quote against your written specification.
Moisture, ash and calorific-value basis
Compare calorific value on a stated basis: NCV/LHV or GCV/HHV, and as-received, air-dried or dry basis.
Moisture and ash must use the same reporting language as your plant sheet.
Final availability and specifications are confirmed per inquiry.
Screening, foreign matter, volume and transport
Screening versus non-screening describes processing, not a universal quality grade.
Volume, loading location and transport mode move logistics cost.
Agree sample or inspection responsibilities in writing when quality risk is high.
Compare like-for-like delivery basis
Ex-works, FOB and CIF allocate freight and risk differently. They are educational terms, not a promise that every Incoterm is offered on every inquiry.
When comparing two quotes, check whether freight, insurance, taxes and local charges are included.

RFQ template for a useful PKS quote
Include product name, end use, moisture/ash/calorific targets with basis, size or screening notes, volume, destination, timing and requested documents.
