Malaysia is one of the world's major producers and exporters of palm oil, supported by an established plantation, milling, refining, storage and export infrastructure. Official MPOB statistics show Malaysian palm oil exports reached approximately 15.27 million tonnes in 2025. Major destinations included India, Kenya, the European Union, China, Türkiye, the Philippines and Japan, demonstrating the broad international reach of Malaysian palm oil.
Malaysia's palm sector produces and exports multiple oil grades and fractions. These include Crude Palm Oil, RBD Palm Oil, RBD Palm Olein, RBD Palm Stearin, Palm Kernel Oil and other palm-based products. Different fractions provide different physical and functional characteristics, allowing manufacturers to select suitable raw materials for frying, bakery, margarine, shortening, specialty fats, soap manufacturing and industrial processing.
Malaysian palm oil to downstream oleochemicals, discover versatile raw materials serving industries worldwide.
Palm oleochemicals are chemical ingredients manufactured from vegetable oils and fats, particularly palm and palm-kernel-based feedstocks. Important product groups include fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerine, soap noodles, surfactants and esters. Malaysia has a significant downstream oleochemical sector: MPOC reported that palm-based oleochemicals represented the largest share of Malaysia's downstream palm-product exports, with 2.86 million tonnes exported in 2023.
Mars Oleochemicals supplies palm oil and palm-based oleochemical products from Malaysia to international customers. The company's listed core portfolio includes Refined Glycerine, Soap Noodles, Fatty Acids, Fatty Alcohols and Surfactants. For industrial buyers, purchasing decisions should be based on required grade, specification, packaging, shipment quantity, destination regulations and applicable technical or certification requirements.
