Dorab Mistry

Dorab Mistry is the Director of Godrej International Ltd, based in Singapore, and one of the most influential figures in global edible oils trading and forecasting. His annual outlooks delivered at major industry conferences — including his long-running address at GLOBOIL India — are followed closely by trading desks, refiners and policymakers worldwide.

Over a career spanning more than four decades, Mistry has become the single most-cited public voice on palm oil price direction. His thesis-driven framework integrates supply-side biology (plantation cycles, weather, labour, fertiliser), demand-side policy (biofuel mandates, import duties, food retail dynamics) and macro variables (crude oil, currency, freight) into directional calls that move the market on delivery.

Mistry will deliver his 29th annual GLOBOIL India price outlook on 30 September 2026 — historically the conference's most-attended session. His commentary in May 2026 calling for Bursa CPO to reach MYR 5,200 by mid-July is the most consequential price call of the year so far.
