# Palm oil slides as Malaysia's stock build meets a policy-heavy week | Palm Oil Economics

> Malaysian palm oil futures fell to near an eight-month low as September production rose 16.5% month on month to 2.12 million tonnes, stocks climbed 31.9% to 2.16 million tonnes, and exports declined 12.1% to 1.12 million tonnes. Indonesia is preparing a revised export-levy structure, while Malaysian producers have called for an export-duty waiver to help clear surplus stocks.

## Why it matters

Rising Malaysian inventories alongside weaker exports point to ample near-term supply and pressure palm oil prices. Changes to Indonesia's export levy could alter export flows and add uncertainty to competing supply.
