# Malaysia’s 2021 biodiesel output, exports to fall: USDA 28.12.2021 - UkrAgroConsult

> The USDA forecasts Malaysia's 2021 biodiesel output will fall 16% to 1.05 billion litres, with exports down 23.5%. Record-high crude palm oil prices have kept the palm oil-gasoil spread wide, making exports more attractive than domestic blending. Kuala Lumpur also delayed its nationwide B20 rollout due to subsidy costs.

## Why it matters

Lower biodiesel use removes palm oil demand from the domestic feedstock market, which is bearish for crude palm oil prices. Weaker biodiesel demand also signals limited support from mandates.
