Aftermath of floods may affect Malaysian palm output
Kuala Lumpur
PALM oil output in Malaysia may fall further this month as the aftermath of monsoon flooding takes its toll on yields that are already low for seasonal reasons, while growers in Borneo were now braced for the monsoon, which has shifted to that region.
Malaysia's weather office forecast better conditions over the peninsular region in the coming week, dispelling fears of a fresh wave of flooding in the coastal states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang, which were hardest hit by last month's rain.
