The Star Online (21/06/2019) - KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia kept its export duty on crude palm oil for July unchanged at 0%, according to a circular on the Malaysian Palm Oil Board's website on Thursday that cited the national customs department.

The duty has been at 0% since September.

Malaysia, the world's second-largest producer of palm oil, calculated a palm oil reference price of 1,970.44 ringgit ($474.69) per tonne for July. Any price above 2,250 ringgit incurs a duty.

The Southeast Asian Nation in May had said it would defer the imposition of export duties on crude palm oil to Dec. 31, in a bid to boost palm oil exports and expand into new markets.
