Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB)
Red Palm Fruit Oil comes from oil palms that are traditionally grown in tropical regions of West Africa and are now cultivated on a large-scale in Southeast Asia. Malaysia is one of the world leaders in exports of palm oil. It is a traditional oil used for more than 5000 years in African countries. Crude […]
Malaysian palm oil production increased from 10.553 million tonnes in 1999 to 10.842 million tonnes in 2000, i.e. by about 2.7% (Table 1). This increase was brought about by an expansion in the mature area, as well as higher yields that boosted production, especially in Sabah and Sarawak. The rainfall was also favourable, while the […]
Malaysia produced 8.649 million tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO) in the first nine months of 2001. This was an increase of 1.098 million tonnes or 14.54% over the production in the same period the previous year. Monthly production for the first eight months in 2001 was higher than that of the corresponding period in […]
Malaysiaís palm oil production increased from 10.842 million tonnes in 2000 to 11.804 million tonnes in 2001, i.e. by about 8.9% (Table 1). This increase was brought about by expansion in the area entering maturity, as well as higher yields that boosted production, especially in Sabah and Sarawak. Favourable rainfall and the improvement in the […]
In this paper, with more recent data and new assumptions, revised projections for future CPO production in the major producing countries, especially Malaysia and Indonesia, are made. Revision of the Malaysian projections mainly stemmed from the availability of more recent data and correction of an under-estimated crop area in East Malaysia. The estimates of world […]
This paper provides a status report on the Malaysian palm oil industry, which among others will include the area planted, production and exports of Malaysian palm oil products. Some new research developments will also be highlighted.
