Palm | Kelapa Sawit

Malaysian and Indonesian senior officials are set to meet in November to discuss potential areas of collaboration between the world's two largest palm oil producing nations.

Speaking at a press conference after officiating the 2012 National Seminar on Oil Palm Mechanisation, Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Bernard Dompok said the two nations had brought forward its annual meeting to early November.

"We have agreed to look at many areas such as the amount of biodiesel that should be allowed in the market and how much area of old palm trees should be replanted," the minister said.
