Malaysia's government suspended palm oil export duties from January 8 to April 7, 2018, to halt a falling palm oil price. The exemption would end early if palm oil stockpiles fell to 1.6 million tonnes.
Felda chairman Shahrir Samad said the move was to stabilise market prices and that a protest petition against an EU palm oil import ban would proceed.
Suspending the export duty lowers the cost of exporting palm oil and is intended to draw down stocks, which supports Malaysian palm oil prices. The early-exit trigger ties the policy directly to inventory levels.
