PALM OIL NEWS 2022





MINISTER of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC) Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin Zuraida (picture) has proposed for Malaysia and Indonesia to proactively pursue their legal recourse filed with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) against the EU’s restrictions on palm oil biodiesel.

“I will ensure we put up an ‘aggressive’ fight against these foreign pressures and provide them with all the relevant evidence. We will show them that Malaysia is not a nation to be fooled around with,” Zuraisa said in a statement today.




KUALA LUMPUR (March 31): Exports of Malaysian sustainable palm oil into the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region will continue to grow in tandem with the increasing population of the region, said consulting and trading firm Farm Trade.

Its founder Sandeep Singh said many multinational companies had set their footprints in the region and started to import the sustainable flagship of palm oil into the region in a big way.



KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 7): While a provisional agreement on the European Commission’s Proposal for the Deforestation-Free Products Regulation has been reached, Malaysia should continue to engage with the European Union (EU) regarding the new regulation and future implementing rules, said the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC).

This is to ensure that the rules are not discriminatory and that reliance on the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil means compliance with the due diligence requirements, chief executive officer Wan Aishah Wan Hamid said.
