Palm oil sector to benefit from UK’s CPTPP entry


Mohd Afzanizam says Malaysia-UK relationship has always been cozy with regards to investments.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s palm oil industry will be one of the sectors to benefit from the United Kingdom’s entry into the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), an analyst says.

SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said Malaysia has successfully sought Britain to cut its palm oil tariffs – currently ranging up to 12% to nil – immediately on entering the pact; this should drive more exports to the United Kingdom.
