Malaysian analysts say the local palm oil industry faces a tough cost structure, including MPOB cess, price stabilisation tax and windfall profit levies, plus sustainability certification costs. CPO prices fell from about RM2,400 to as low as RM2,100 per tonne during 2018, hurting producer performance.
High domestic levies raise Malaysian production costs and reduce competitiveness against Indonesian palm and soybean oil, which can sustain pressure on palm oil prices.
