# Malaysian palm oil output likely to be higher in 2019  - The HinduBusinessLine

> Analyst Dorab Mistry forecast Malaysia's 2019 palm oil output would rise to 20 million tonnes, up from 19.5 million tonnes previously. Malaysian output for January to March set monthly records, but he expects aging trees to limit production later in 2019. Mistry also kept his Indonesian forecast at 44 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

Higher Malaysian and Indonesian output forecasts point to ample palm supply that could cap prices. Limits from aging trees may offer some support later in the year.
