‘Malaysia will protest anti-palm oil vote’

RAM also said the increase in Indian import duties on rival soybean oil in June 2018 was also expected to reverse the downtrend in palm oil exports for Malaysia and Indonesia.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia will mount a strong protest against the decision by the French National Assembly to exclude the use of palm oil as a biodiesel feedstock.

Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok said the decision was an unwarranted and unjustified move that could potentially disrupt the livelihood of millions in key palm oil producer nations including Malaysia.
