Malaysia remains one of the world's most significant palm-oil producing and exporting countries. Official MPOB figures show that Malaysian CPO production reached 20.28 million tonnes in 2025, while palm-oil exports reached approximately 15.27 million tonnes. This substantial production and export base supports Malaysia's continued importance to international food, ingredient and industrial markets.
Malaysia is not currently the world's largest palm-oil producer; USDA places Indonesia first and Malaysia second in 2025/26 production. Nevertheless, Malaysia remains a major global supplier supported by established plantations, mills, refineries, storage facilities, ports and export networks.
Malaysia remains a major palm-oil producer and exporter by established refining and oleochemical industries.
Malaysia's palm sector extends far beyond crude-oil production. Refineries and fractionation facilities transform palm oil into RBD Palm Oil, Palm Olein and Palm Stearin, while oleochemical facilities manufacture Fatty Acids, Fatty Alcohols, Glycerine and other higher-value derivatives. These materials supply sectors including food processing, detergents, cosmetics, personal care and industrial manufacturing.
International buyers can source a broad range of Malaysian palm-oil and oleochemical products according to technical specification and intended application. Buyers should identify the required product, grade, quality parameters, packaging, quantity and destination before requesting commercial supply.
