KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Malaysia announced on Friday (June 5) it would fully exempt palm oil from export duty this year, in a move that traders estimated could boost shipments of the edible oil by 1 million tonnes in the second half of year.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced the exemption as part of an economic stimulus package to revitalise industries badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
