# Higher rainfall to the rescue for Malaysian oil palm - Oil Palm World

> Oil Palm World reports that better-than-expected rainfall has limited El Niño crop losses in Malaysia. Analysts expect 2027 output of 19.8 to 20 million tonnes, below this year's expected record of 20.28 million tonnes. Indonesia's steeper decline is expected to leave a global palm supply deficit.

## Why it matters

Smaller-than-feared Malaysian losses ease some upward pressure on palm prices. Indonesian weakness still leaves a supply gap for vegetable oils.
