# SD Guthrie Seeks Temporary CPO Export Duty Waiver to Clear Glut

> Malaysian planter SD Guthrie is seeking a temporary waiver of crude palm oil export duties to help clear a growing supply overhang. Malaysia’s September palm oil stocks rose 31.9% month on month to about 2.16 million tonnes, while production increased and exports declined; benchmark prices were also lower.

## Why it matters

A waiver would reduce the cost of Malaysian palm oil exports and could improve overseas demand, helping draw down stocks. The prospect of more competitive export supply is bearish for palm oil prices.
