  • What is the limiting factor for palm oil production in Malaysia?
  • To stay competitive in the global market, Malaysia must increase palm oil production as well as diversify its products. However, due to the small geographical area in Malaysia, the availability of arable land for cultivation is the limiting factor for this industry (Nambiappan 2018).
  • Is there a palm oil industry in Malaysia?
  • The palm oil industry has continued to grow in Malaysia and worldwide. It provides job opportunities to at least 3 million people along its beneficiation chain and contributed RM37.7 billion to Malaysia¡¯s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018.
  • How to improve the sustainability of palm oil production in Malaysia?
  • Presently, tremendous efforts have been devoted to improving the sustainability of palm oil production. One strategy is to improve the oil extraction rate (OER) during the milling process. The average OER in Malaysia has remained stagnant between 19 and 21% for the past 40 years.
  • What did Fauconnier know about Malaysia's oil palm industry?
  • Little did Fauconnier know, Malaysia¡¯s oil palm industry would go through a boom leading to plantations occupying 5.67 million hectares. In 2022, Malaysia exported around 25 million tonnes of palm oil and palm-based products.
  • When did the refining of crude palm oil start in Malaysia?
  • The refining of crude palm oil commenced in the early 70s in response to the government¡¯s call for increased industrialisation. Taking into account other oils and fats produced in the country, Malaysia accounted for 9.1% and 19.7% of the world¡¯s total production and exports of oils and fats, in the same year.
  • When was the first oil palm plantation in Malaysia?
  • In 1907, Fauconnier planted some oil palm seeds for its oil at the Tennamaram estate in Batang Berjuntai, Selangor ¡ª marking the first commercial oil palm plantation in Malaysia, which laid the foundation for the country's palm oil industry development.
