# Malaysia palm oil output likely jumped in March — Survey | Borneo Post Online

> A Reuters poll estimates Malaysian palm oil output rose 10.4 percent month on month in March to 1.39 million tonnes, the first monthly increase in about five months. The rise is smaller than the usual March gain of about 15 percent, owing to El Nino effects and labour shortages.
