Malaysia Secures Over RM230 Million in Palm Oil Trade Deals from Visit to China
Malaysia has secured over RM230 million in palm oil trade deals from Deputy Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Chan Foong Hin's recent working visit to China. The visit resulted in the signing of four memoranda of understanding (MOUs) between Malaysian palm oil companies and businesses in China. The MOUs involve expanding the trade of palm oil products into new sectors, including leveraging the e-commerce platform of Taobao to develop online business-to-business and business-to-consumer sales channels, and entering the health product market with tocotrienols, a potent form of vitamin E derived from palm oil. The overall value of the trade deals is expected to increase in the coming years. These initiatives will further deepen bilateral cooperation in the palm oil sector, promoting mutual economic prosperity and win-win outcomes for Malaysia and China.
