Exports of Malaysian palm oil products for July 1-15 rose 16.7% to 510,249 tonnes from 437,101 tonnes shipped during June 1 – 15, independent inspection company AmSpec Agri Malaysia said on Saturday, as Reuters reported.
Another cargo surveyor Intertek Testing Services said exports during the same period rose 19.3% to 554,054 tonnes from 464,380 tonnes.
Malaysia has maintained its August export tax for crude palm oil at 8% and raised its reference price, a circular on the Malaysian Palm Oil Board website showed on Friday.
Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
