# Palm Oil demand from China and India expected to rise as prices become competitive, says MPOC

> Malaysia's palm oil marketing board MPOC said palm oil at 3,900 ringgit ($889) per tonne is reasonably priced, so demand from China and India is expected to rise. It expects prices to hold near that level, supported by a recovery in soyoil prices. Malaysian palm contract prices are down 12% this year as output is expected to rise.

## Why it matters

Stronger expected buying from the two largest importers would support palm oil and competing vegetable oil prices. Rising output in the coming months limits how far prices can recover.
