Malaysia palm oil stocks hit nearly 2-year low in Feb as output drops

Malaysia's palm oil stocks fell for a fifth consecutive month in February, reaching a nearly two-year low as output dropped. Malaysia is the world's second-largest palm oil producer after Indonesia.

The article notes palm's premium over soyoil is reducing demand.

WHY IT MATTERS

Tighter Malaysian stocks reduce exportable supply and can support benchmark palm futures, which pull up feed-related vegetable oil costs. Palm's price premium over soyoil may cap demand gains.
