The Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) organized its flagship programme, the Malaysian Palm Oil Forum (MPOF) in Nairobi, Kenya, on the 4th of July 2023, with the theme of “Malaysian Palm Oil: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions for a Better Tomorrow”. MPOF is a programme developed to provide a platform for interaction between members of the Malaysian palm oil industry and key buyers, as well as end users.
In a series of paper presentations and panel discussions, the panel of expert speakers shared the latest developments in areas of market potentials, health, nutrition, and functional attributes of Malaysian palm oil, as well as sustainability efforts that are being undertaken.
MPOF also provided a platform for Malaysian palm oil suppliers to showcase their products and services to potential buyers as part of their efforts in improving their exports and footprint in this growing region. Through the Forum, MPOC had engaged with stakeholders of the oils and fats industry in the East African region, including countries such as Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mozambique. It is the objective of this Forum to provide a unique opportunity for buyers in these markets to interact directly with Malaysian palm oil suppliers, and subsequently for these interactions to foster relationships, leading to increased business opportunities for all stakeholders involved.
