Malaysia is one of the biggest producers and exporters of palm oil, accounting for 35% of world palm oil production and 46% of world exports to more than 150 countries. It plays a crucial role by fulfilling the global appetite for oils and fats and ensuring the production of palm oil meets stringent sustainability criteria.
