> Reuters poll estimates Malaysia's end-July palm oil stocks fell 11.94% from June to 1.67 million tonnes, the lowest since June 2017. Production is expected to drop 5% on labour shortages linked to the coronavirus outbreak and heavy rain. July exports are seen rising 2% to 1.74 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

Tighter stocks and lower output reduce available palm oil supply just as export demand holds up, supporting prices. Buyers should expect firmer vegetable oil costs in the near term.
