Malaysia's commodities ministry has proposed cutting its palm oil export tax by as much as half, from 8% to 4%-6%, to help address a global edible oil shortage. The temporary measure would also slow implementation of the B30 biodiesel mandate to prioritise supply for food use.
A lower export tax would encourage Malaysian exports and add supply to a tight global vegetable oil market, while slowing the biodiesel mandate reduces domestic palm oil demand for fuel, both bearish for palm oil prices and supportive for soy oil substitution demand.
