Sime Darby Oils collab with Beibu Gulf Port to spur higher palm oil demand

KUALA LUMPUR: Sime Darby Oils International Ltd (SDO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sime Darby Plantation Bhd, says the collaboration with Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group Ltd (BGP) presents an opportunity for its palm oil products to be sold and distributed in major consumer areas in mainland China.

“With the growing demand for palm oil products and the increasing trade volumes between China and Malaysia, we anticipate that this partnership will promote growth of sustainable supply chain and spur greater demand for palm oil in China," said SDO managing director Mohd Haris Mohd Arshad in a statement.
