Malaysia, the world’s second-largest palm oil producer, has kept its crude palm oil (CPO) export duty for February at 8 percent.
A circular from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board website showed on Tuesday that the CPO reference price for February has been lowered to 3,571.39 ringgit (755.05 U.S. dollars) per ton from 3,679.50 ringgit per ton in January.
