# Malaysian palm oil stockpiles hit record amid output surge | The Straits Times

> Malaysian palm oil stockpiles rose to a record 3.45 million tonnes in September. The increase followed a 16% rise in output and a 12% fall in exports, with exports hurt by higher Malaysian prices relative to Indonesia. Traders expect festive demand and Indian purchases to draw down inventories by year-end.

## Why it matters

Record stocks and weaker exports add bearish pressure on palm oil prices in the near term. Lower-priced vegetable oil could ease costs for feed buyers, though the stock drawdown outlook limits the downside.
