2.0 Introduction
The World's Largest Palm Oil Exporter
Malaysia currently accounts for 41 % of world palm oil production and 47% of world
exports, and therefore also for 11% and 25% of the world's total production and
exports of oils and fats. As the biggest producer and exporter of palm oil and palm oil
products, Malaysia has an important role to play in fulfilling the growing global need
for oils and fats in general.
The refining of crude palm oil commenced in the early 70s in response to
Government's call for increased industrialization. The emergence of refineries
marked the introduction of a wide range of processed palm oil products.
