VIEW PROFILE
This paper outlines the oils and fats situation in Malaysia and highlights the development of the Malaysian palm oil industry in the first half of 2012. Malaysia is the second largest palm oil producer in the world. In 2011, Malaysia had exported nearly 18 million tonnes of palm oil products, 3.4 million tonnes of palm kernel products, 2.2 million tonnes of oleochemical products, 0.4 million tonnes of finished products and nearly 0.3 million tonnes of other palm-based products. However, the imports of oils and fats, including palm oil had nearly doubled from 1.1 million tonnes in 2005 to 2.1 million tonnes in 2011. Imports of palm oil had grown from 26% in 2005 to 61% in 2011, while imports of palm kernel oil had tripled over the same period. Imports of soybean oil, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil had increased, albeit at slower rates, and their combined total increased to 0.26 million tonnes in 2011 from 0.16 million tonnes in 2005. Only the import of coconut oil had declined from 0.24 million tonnes in 2005 to 0.16 million tonnes in 2011. These developments indicate that palm oil still plays a major role in the oils and fats industry in Malaysia, but other oils and fats nevertheless still garner a significant position in the local market due to growing consumer demand that arising from higher disposable income and taste preference. It also discusses the supply and demand situation of Malaysian palm oil in the first half of 2012 as compared to that of the previous year.
