Óleo de palma da Malásia com futuro na Coreia

(Notícia em Inglês)
Malaysian Plantation Industries and Commodities minister opened the inaugural Malaysia-Korea Palm Oil Trade Fair and Seminar last week.

“Korea has demonstrated a wide acceptance for palm oil with 21 percent of the country’s oil and fats industry accounted by palm oil,” said Minister Tan Sri Bernard Dompok.

He also noted that there is room for growth as the Korean biodiesel mandate stipulates a 2 percent blend in 2012.

The event focused on synergizing and strengthening the existing partnership between the business communities of both countries.

On April 12, prominent industry captains and international experts from Malaysia, Britain, the United States and Korea covered topics on oils and fats ranging from market outlook and trade to palm oil applications and nutrition.

“Malaysia takes the position as Korea’s favored palm oil supplier seriously,” said Dompok. “We will continue to foster closer ties and provide new avenues where information can be shared, ideas can be exchanged and business opportunities can be established.”
