With nearly 40 per cent of oil palm cultivated by smallholders, Malaysia's over 300,000 smallholders, who cultivate plantations ranging from 4 to 40 hectares, contribute to livelihood security, employment, and economic stability. Malaysian Palm Oil industry is a dependable producer of Oils & Fats. Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) aims to open discussions and dispel myths with global players and be fair to Palm Oil, one of the most efficient and versatile oil crops.
