"-MPOC Expects CPO Prices to Rise Next Year
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) expects crude palm oil price (CPO) to increase to between RM2,100 and RM2,500 next year, lifted by factors such as biofuel demand and petroleum price level. Its chief executive officer, Tan Sri Yusof Basiron, said besides supply and demand, biofuel demand and petroleum price level would determine whether more or less of biodiesel would be used. "The announcement by Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister, Datuk Seri Douglas Uggah Embas, to impose a requirement for biodiesel to use seven per cent palm oil, from five% now, was a way to firm up the CPO price," he told Bernama yesterday. Basiron said this on the sidelines of MPOC's International Palm Oil Trade Fair and Seminar 2014 here. Uggah had said the move aimed to lower stocks and boost prices that had declined by over 20% this year. The implementation would start in stages from November in Peninsular Malaysia and in Sarawak, Sabah and Federal Territory Labuan by December, he said. Basiron said the government also tried to remove depressing factors on prices by providing export duty exemption for CPO."This would remove any bearish factors affecting palm oil price. "The move will also stimulate the country's export and help rationalise the stock level," he said. Source : Bernama"
