Palm oil production in February falls for the fourth consecutive month
In Malaysia, The Star reported that Malaysia’s palm oil production in February declined for the fourth consecutive month, down by 18.5% or 293,000 tons from January 2026.
The decline to 1.28 million tons in February was mainly due to fewer harvesting days due to the shorter month and the Lunar New Year public holiday, according to the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC).
The council said in a statement that palm oil exports remained robust in February, accounting for 88% of Malaysia’s production and contributing to a lower stock level.
Cumulative exports from January to February increased by 18.7% to 2.58 million tons, with India contributing the largest share of the increase, the report added.
