VIEW PROFILE
The Malaysian oil palm industry has grown in leaps and bounds. Palm oil’s contribution to overall Malaysia’s commodity export value has increased from 6.0% in 1980 to 35% in 2000. In 2010, its share surpassed half of the country’s commodity exports value with 52.8% or RM59.79 billion of the total RM113.29 billion. The first half of 2011 recorded mixed performance for the Malaysian Oil Palm Industry. High supply availability from increases in Crude Palm Oil production and imports and lower export demand pushed palm oil closing stocks at 2.05 million tonnes in June 2011. Crude Palm Oil and imports increased by 7.7% and 38.0% to 8.5 million tonnes and 767,000 tonnes respectively, while exports of palm oil declined by 4.4% to 7.9 million tonnes. Tight palm oil supply in the first quarter of this year helped sustain palm oil prices above RM3,000 level. Crude palm oil price for the first half of 2011 averaged RM3,463.50, an increase of 35.8% compared to RM2,549.50 for the first half of 2010. This paper will provide an overview of the performance of the Malaysian oil palm industry for the first half of 2011 vis-à-vis the first half of 2010 covering oil palm planted area and productivity by region as well as exports, imports, stocks and price of oil palm products.
