Malaysian palm oil futures extended declines on Thursday to a third session, as the prospect of India, the world’s largest vegetable oil importer, raising import taxes weighed on market sentiment.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for November delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange fell 40 ringgit, or 1.02%, to 3,880 ringgit ($897.11) a metric ton as of 0241 GMT.
