# Malaysia end-December palm oil stocks seen hitting over 13-year low as output falls: poll

> A Reuters poll expected Malaysia's end-December palm oil stocks to fall 22% to 1.22 million tonnes, the lowest since June 2007. Production was forecast to drop 11% for a third straight month while exports rose 15%. Labour shortages from the migrant worker ban also hampered plantation output in 2020.
