The Star reports that Malaysia's oil palm industry could gain from its MSPO certification, which is the only national scheme the EU formally recognises. The EUDR applies to large and medium operators from 30 December 2026 and to smaller ones by mid-2027.
EU palm oil imports fell 5% year on year to 2.85 million tonnes in 2025/26.
Compliant Malaysian cargoes may earn a premium in a smaller EU market, while less traceable producers face higher costs. The result is a mild shift in palm oil trade flows rather than a clear price move.
After 513 past neutral policy events, Palm Oil moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
