Petaling Jaya. While Malaysia's palm oil exports to India are experiencing a sharp decline during the current month, shipments to China are increasing rapidly. Furthermore, exports to the European Union have also seen a slight increase.

According to a report by Intertek Testing Services (ITS), a leading private cargo survey firm, palm oil (crude and refined) exports from Malaysia to India during October 1-10, 2025, declined from 68,825 tonnes to 15,500 tonnes

compared to September 1-10, 2025. Exports to the European Union improved from 105,690 tonnes to 109,152 tonnes, and exports to China jumped from 8,000 tonnes to 70,660 tonnes.

The festive season in India will end by the end of this month, and the stock position is good due to the large import of edible oils in August-September.

The arrival of Kharif season oilseed crops has also started and huge quantities of soya oil are being imported from Argentina, hence Indian importers are showing less interest in importing palm oil.

According to ITS report, the total export of palm oil products from Malaysia increased from 4,76,610 tonnes to 5,23,602 tonnes during the first 10 days of October as compared to 1st to 10th September.

Under this, although the export of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) decreased from 56,325 tonnes to 30,975 tonnes and the shipment of RBD Palm Oil fell from 47,760 tonnes to 34,880 tonnes,

but the export of RBD Palmolein increased from 1,10,940 tonnes to 1,61,930 tonnes, the shipment of RBD Palm Sterine increased from 42,405 tonnes to 55,240 tonnes,

the export of Crude Palm Kernel Oil improved from 9550 tonnes to 10,000 tonnes and the shipment of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate jumped from 5450 tonnes to 27,250 tonnes. There was an increase in the export of Palm Oil during September as compared to August.
