MUMBAI/KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's crude palm oil production is expected to surpass 20 million metric tons for the first time in 2025, supported by favourable weather, improved labour supply, and higher-yielding new plantations, trade and industry officials told Reuters.
The record output means the world's second-largest producer of the tropical oil is likely to end the year with higher-than-expected stocks, weighing on benchmark Malaysian futures.
