Malaysia’s 2025 CPO Output Projected to Hit Record 20 Mt 
Malaysia’s crude palm oil (CPO) production is projected to surpass 20 Mt in 2025, marking a new record high driven by favorable weather, improved labor supply, and higher yields from young plantations. Industry sources estimated a 3.4% YoY increase from 19.34 Mt in 2024, exceeding the previous record of 19.96 Mt in 2015. Analysts expect this surge could pressure CPO futures prices as inventories rise, though output is likely to ease seasonally in Nov–Dec. (Reuters)
