Abstract: Malaysia is currently the world׳s second largest producer of palm oil. With its large and growing palm oil industry, combined with a strong global demand for palm oil, Malaysia has the potential to play a major role in the world food and biofuel markets. As a result of environmental concerns and reservations concerning the net effect of deforestation in some countries such as Indonesia, a restricted expansion of palm oil plantation area has been analyzed. This paper aims to perform a quantitative analysis on (1) the domestic supply and demand outlook for Malaysia׳s palm oil, including biodiesel demand and (2) its ability to supply the global markets by 2035, in the context of restricted plantation area.
