> Malaysia's palm oil inventories are straining storage capacity in Sarawak, the top-producing state, after a bigger-than-expected harvest and rising freight costs slowed shipments. National stocks hit a record 3.51 million tons in September, and the government is considering measures including a possible waiver of crude palm oil export taxes. Kuala Lumpur palm futures fell as much as 2.2% in a session.
