# Palm oil export growth, higher CPO prices, rising global demand bode well for Boustead Plantations | Malay Mail

> Boustead Plantations' annual report says Malaysian palm oil exports are set to grow 5 to 8 percent in 2017, with CPO prices expected to stay high in the first quarter. The company expects a rebound in output in the second half of 2017 as El Niño effects fade, with CPO trading around RM2,700 a tonne.

## Why it matters
