VIEW PROFILE
The price of vegetable oils in 2013 fluctuated wildly as concerns over stock levels, supplies and market demand dominated the market. This trend continued into the first half of 2014 as major vegetable oil prices moved with a range of US$800 – US$950/MT. Crude palm oil (CPO), given its perennial supply and traditional discounts to other vegetable oils, has seen its share of the global vegetable oil market rise and fall in tandem with market sentiments. The price of crude mineral oil has remained consistent between US$100 – US$115 per barrel but is still considered a factor as its price movements would influence biodiesel production.

This paper will show the relationship between the other vegetable oils vis-à-vis palm oil and that palm oil would likely be a push and price leader in prices of vegetable oils for the year 2014.

Thank you En. Jaaffar for your question. The production figure quoted is derived based on MPOB data on the expected mature areas and average yield in 2014. However, to clarify on the difference as mentioned by you, I suggest you contact Mr Ramli Abdullah from MPOB, the author of the other paper.

Dear En. Izham, I noted from your presentation that you have forecasted/quoted the Malaysian CPO production in 2014 to be around 19.5 million tonnes whereas in En. Ramli Abdullah (MPOB), it is forecast at 21.34 million tonnes. This is a huge difference of 1.84 million tonnes which can make or break the CPO price this year. What is your basis for 19.5 million tonnes? TQ
