  • Where is oil palm grown in Malaysia?
  • The main region where Oil Palm is grown in Malaysia is Sabah, located on the island of Borneo. With its abundant rainfall and suitable temperatures, Sabah accounts for a significant portion of Malaysia’s palm oil production. Other major areas include Sarawak, Johor, Pahang, and Perak.
  • How did Malaysia’s oil palm industry perform in 2022 compared to 2021?
  • The Malaysian oil palm industry fared better in 2022 compared to 2021 with slight increase in crude palm oil (CPO) production and export. With the exception of the second quarter of 2022, the production of CPO recorded higher performance in other quarters as compared to the same period in 2021.
  • How to increase oil palm production in Malaysia?
  • In the past, Malaysia increased the oil palm planted area by expanding onto degraded land or secondary forest or land that was used to cultivate other crops. As suitable land banks for oil palm cultivation were limited, the industry cannot depend on expanding plantation acreage to increase production in the long term (May 2012 ).
  • What percentage of palm oil is produced in Malaysia?
  • Taking into account other oils and fats produced in the country, Malaysia accounted for 9.1% and 19.7% of the world’s total production and exports of oils and fats, in the same year. The refining of crude palm oil commenced in the early 70s in response to the government’s call for increased industrialisation.
