KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — Malaysia is on track to exceed its palm oil production target for 2026, following encouraging production performance, said Minister of Plantation and Commodities Datuk Seri Noraini Ahmad.
She said positive developments in the industry, coupled with aggressive marketing strategies, provided confidence that this year’s performance would at least match or surpass last year’s achievement.
“Production is currently in line with what we have been focusing on, and we are targeting an increase.
“We have another two months, and I am looking at production positively. Insya-Allah, with the aggressive marketing efforts being carried out by the industry, we (can) at least be on par with or perform better than last year,” she told reporters after officiating the Malaysian Palm Oil Forum (MPOF) Kuala Lumpur 2026 here today.
