KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 22): Fitch Solutions Country Risk and Industry Research anticipates the current downward trend in crude palm oil (CPO) prices to continue in the next four years to a low of RM2,600 per tonne in 2026.

The research outfit expects the edible oil prices to decline 23.1% year-on-year to RM4,000 per tonne next year. It reasons that the effects of one-off events that occurred in the first half of 2022 — the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Indonesian palm oil export ban — are to ease further.





KUALA LUMPUR: Investors will likely focus on the domestic plantation industry in the coming weeks as crude palm oil (CPO) prices are currently hovering around RM7,500 a tonne on a spot basis.

"Given that such level can be deemed at an all-time high, we could say investor's interest would revolve around this sector in the immediate term," Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said.

GOVERNMENT support in terms of strong policy and allocation of funds will help to further improve palm oil sustainability practices and requirements for the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification.

The promotion of Malaysian palm oil globally will also lead to higher acceptability and better market access.

ALOR GAJAH, Jan 9 — The government will adopt a two-pronged strategic approach in strengthening the palm oil export market in the Asian region as well as addressing the issue of anti-palm oil campaign sentiment by the European Union (EU).

Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin said the move includes strengthening the image and improving the quality of the country’s palm oil.
