KUALA LUMPUR/MUMBAI: Malaysia's palm oil stocks at the end of March dropped to their lowest in 10 months as a jump in exports offset a rebound in production, the industry regulator said on Monday.
Crude palm oil production gained 10.57% from February to 1.39 million tons, while palm oil exports ticked up 28.61% to 1.32 million tons, the MPOB said. "The CPO stocks are depleting fast, and they could fall further by end of April. Malaysian output could drop in the first half of April because of Ramadan holidays, while exports during the period were higher than the last month," he said.
