Palm oil may rise to RM2,001 per tonne, as suggested by a projection analysis, said Wang Tao, a Reuters market analyst for commodities and energy technicals.

PETALING JAYA: Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok does not understand the financial concerns of oil palm plantation smallholders in her insistence that that they should apply for the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification, says MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon.

He said the smallholders were reluctant to apply because they would have to bear the legal fees and advisory cost.
