# Malaysian oil palm estates largely spared from flooding as Southeast Asia experiences devastating rainfall

> Floods have hit parts of Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, but plantation companies report minimal disruption to estate operations. Analysts say the wet weather may give short-term support to CPO prices, though the market has not priced in meaningful supply risk. Experts expect prices to range between RM4,000 and RM4,330 per tonne this year.
