	According to industry reports and data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), Malaysia’s palm oil exports in October 2025 are expected to reach approximately 1.48 million metric tons, marking a growth of 3.8% from September’s figures. This rise comes amid steady increases in production and stock levels, driven by strong demand during the festive season.
	 
	Crude Palm Oil (CPO) production in October is estimated at 1.84 million metric tons, up 5.6% month-on-month, fueled by favorable weather conditions and improved plantation productivity. The total palm oil end-stocks for the month are projected at 2.44 million metric tons, a 3.5% increase reflecting inventory buildup to meet anticipated export demand.
	 
	The palm oil sector remains sensitive to global commodity price shifts, with prices influenced by dynamics in competing oils like soybean and sunflower oil. Export growth is partly supported by increased purchases from key importers including India, while supply adjustments in major producing countries continue to affect market sentiments.
	 
	MPOB expects exports to surge during the upcoming months, driven by the festive demand in key global markets, while production is forecast to gradually ease toward year-end.
