MagnaOleic BAL April 2026 ORDER
IMMEDIATE Order by Jan 19, 2026
Order 20 ST from ICOF America at target $1,415/MT via Barranquilla, Colombia → OAK
Supplier capacity: 20 ST allocation represents 1% of ICOF America's 4,000 MT/month capacity, leaving substantial headroom for scaling if demand confirmation increases.
Estimated freight: $0/container

New PO: 33 ST
Landed Cost
FOB $1,415 + broker $1 = $1,416/MT
Timeline
PO by Jan 19, ship Mar 1-Mar 15, arrive ~Apr 28
Demand Rationale
0 firm (contracts + orders) + 33 forecast (0% accuracy)
Price Rationale
FOB $1,415/MT from Colombia reflects competitive regional pricing. Landed cost of $1,416/MT includes minimal broker fees, positioning this sourcing competitively for April delivery.
Reasoning: BAL warehouse shows a 33 ST forecast demand gap for MagnaOleic in April 2026 with zero firm commitments. ICOF America can supply 20 ST via Colombia-OAK-BAL route, covering 61% of the forecasted requirement and establishing initial inventory position.
Risk: Entire 33 ST requirement is forecast-based with no firm orders; demand materialization risk is elevated. Recommend monitoring customer inquiries through January to validate forecast before full commitment.

MagnaOleic BAL April 2026 ORDER
PLAN Order by Invalid Date
Order 13 ST from No viable supplier (manual review) at target $0/MT
Supplier capacity: No capacity data available pending supplier identification. Manual review should prioritize suppliers with adequate monthly capacity to support the 13 ST requirement plus future growth.
Supply Waterfall
New PO: 33 ST
Demand Rationale
0 firm (contracts + orders) + 33 forecast (0% accuracy)
Price Rationale
Pricing cannot be established until a viable supplier is identified. Recommend benchmarking against ICOF's $1,415/MT FOB to maintain cost competitiveness.
Reasoning: Remaining 13 ST gap (33 ST forecast minus 20 ST from ICOF) requires alternative sourcing. Current supplier evaluation has not identified a viable second source; manual review and supplier outreach are necessary to close this portion of demand.
Risk: No viable supplier identified creates fulfillment risk for the remaining 13 ST. Delayed sourcing decision increases lead-time pressure and may result in partial stockout if demand confirms.
