VIEW PROFILE
The Malaysian palm oil industry experienced mixed performance in 2021. CPO production declined by 5.3% to 18.12 million tonnes as against 19.14 million tonnes in 2020. The slowdown in CPO production has limited the capacity of the country to export palm oil and other palm-based products despite stable demand from importing countries. Subsequently, exports of palm oil down by 10.5% to 15.57 million tonnes from 17.39 million tonnes in 2020. This supply-demand disparity has caused palm oil stocks in the first seven months of 2021 to be lower as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. However, the improvement in CPO production in the fourth quarter of 2021 has witnessed the closing stocks for December 2021 stood higher by 26.8% to 1.61 million tonnes vis-à-vis 1.27 million tonnes in December 2020. The low supply situation arising from the low CPO production in 2021, coupled with other contributing factors have led the CPO price in 2021 to reach the highest record in the palm oil history. Oil palm products were traded higher in 2021 as against 2020 with local CPO price increased by 64.1% to RM4,407.00 per tonne as compared to RM2,685.50 per tonne in 2020. The record high prices have also influenced total export revenue to reach the highest level despite lower exports. Total export revenue of palm products increased by 48.0% to RM108.52 billion from RM73.33 billion in 2020. With the improved Malaysian palm oil industry performance especially towards the end of 2021, the year 2022 is expected to bring a brighter prospect for the Malaysian palm oil industry primarily driven by the expected stable palm oil prices and better palm oil production and demand to keep the high export revenue for the palm oil industry in 2022.
