# Malaysia's biodiesel exports to fall to 5-year low

> The Malaysian Biodiesel Association expects Malaysia's 2022 biodiesel exports to fall to 250,000 tons from 300,000 tons, the lowest in five years. The decline follows the EU's plan to phase out palm-based biofuels by 2030 over deforestation concerns.
