Malaysian palm oil stockpiles fell 4.1% in November to a three-month low of 2.26 million tonnes, according to MPOB data. Production dropped 14.4% to 1.54 million tonnes and shipments contracted 14.6%.
Tighter palm oil stocks and falling output support crude palm oil prices, which have reached record highs on expectations of 2020 supply shortages. Analysts expect prices to hover near current levels before correcting.
