VIEW PROFILE
In recent years, we have seen growing interest among palm oil industry players in economic forecasting. Yet questions appeared when industry players were asked concerning supply and demand of global oils and fats.



In response to mounting worldwide interest in economic forecasting, we have decided to take the challenge to construct a very distinctive economic modeling initiative with deeper analysis on “price outlook” aspect of palm oil supply and demand.



The contribution of CPO by palm oil producers regions (i.e. Malaysia & Indonesia) to the total production of vegetable oils in the world has increased considerably in the past several years. Similarly, the contributions of other vegetable oils producers around the world are also equally important.



In view of publication reasons, we feel that it would be too numerous to include all the global oil producers so our objective for now is to focus on net exporters and importers of vegetable oils regions (i.e. China, India & Americas) in which directly influences the total global supply and demand of oils and fats. However, for the benefit of the readers we shall sum up all the global oils and fats regions on the last section of this paper.
