PublicInvest Research said Malaysia is considering waiving its 10% CPO export tax to boost shipments after palm oil inventories hit a record 3.5 million tonnes. Indonesian CPO was trading at a RM700 to RM900 per tonne discount to Malaysian supply despite Indonesia's combined export tax and levy.
India had cut its CPO import tax to 5% from 10%.
A waiver would lower Malaysian export costs and help clear record stocks, which may ease domestic pressure but could also add to export supply and weigh on prices.
