Malaysia’s palm oil development: Lessons from a global success story
10/11/2025 (Punch, Nigeria) - Palm oil is one of the most versatile and valuable agricultural commodities in the world today. Found in products ranging from food to cosmetics and biofuels, it has become a cornerstone of economic growth for several developing nations.

It came from West Africa, then, when the countries were not yet sovereign nations, from the same region where Nigeria lies. Yet today, Malaysia is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of palm oil, while Nigeria, once a global leader, lags far behind. Understanding Malaysia’s path from importing palm seeds to building a multi-billion-dollar industry offers powerful lessons for Africa’s agricultural transformation.
