Industry official M.R. Chandran forecasts world palm oil output will rise 11 percent to 65 million tonnes in 2017 on favorable rains across Malaysia and Indonesia.

Expanding palm supply and weaker Indian import demand are likely to cap palm oil prices, with knock-on pressure on competing vegetable oils.
