Import of Palm Oil Recovered in 2023 but Below Expectation
Import of palm oil in China for the year 2023 rebounded significantly from 2022. From 4.94 million MT recorded in 2022, the palm oil import volume surged by 14.0% or 693,000 MT to 5.64 million MT in 2023. Nevertheless, last year’s import volume was far from the 6.46 million and 6.38 million MT recorded in 2020 and 2021, and MPOC’s forecast of 6.11 million MT (published in the October 2023 issue of Palm Pulse magazine).
