VIEW PROFILE
The Malaysian oil palm industry experienced mixed performance during Jan-July 2021 as compared to that of in 2020. During the reference period, the industry experienced slowdown in CPO production. The CPO production declined by 8.9% to 9.89 million tonnes as against 10.86 million tonnes in Jan-July 2020. This was primarily due to low yielding period of oil palm, aggravated by COVID-19 pandemic. The prolonged closure of national border so as to curb the spread of the COVID-19 has affected the labour situation in the oil palm plantation sector. The low production has limited the capacity of the country to export palm oil and other palm-based products despite stable demand from importing countries. Exports of palm oil was down by 11.5% to 8.48 million tonnes from 9.58 million tonnes in the corresponding period in 2020. The tight supply of palm oil has put pressure on palm oil stocks in the country. In the period of Jan-July 2021, monthly closing stocks of palm oil declined between 12%-25% vis-à-vis Jan-July 2020. Meanwhile, palm oil stocks in July 2021 closed at 1.50 million tonnes, lower by 11.9% from 1.70 million tonnes recorded in July 2020. This situation has helped prices of palm oil and other palm-based products to soar to the highest level in the palm oil history. During the period, CPO price was traded higher by 66.3% or RM1,623.50 to RM4,072.00/tonne as against RM2,448.50/tonne in the same period in 2020. Despite the lower export volume, the higher prices of palm oil and other palm-based products has influenced total export revenue of palm oil and other palm-based products in Jan-June 2021 to surge by 38.5% to RM45.75 billion from RM33.03 billion in Jan-June 2020. This paper will further provide the details of the performance of the Malaysian oil palm industry for the first eight months of 2021, as well as the expected development for the remaining 2021.
