19/02/2009 (Associated Press of Pakistan), Islamabad - Malaysia will send technical experts to Pakistan in May to train the engineers on refining crude palm oil. The decision was taken after Pakistan Edible Oil Refiners Association and Malaysian Palm Oil Board signed an agreement in Karachi to share the technical know-how in refinery industry.

Pakistan has nine edible oil refineries but are relatively new and do not have enough expertise to process crude palm oil, while Malaysia has advanced knowledge in this regard.
