Palm oil export is a key contributor to Malaysia’s economy, contributing RM41.8 billion to the economy. Malaysia accounts for 39% of world palm oil production and 44% of world exports. With the strengthening US dollar, Malaysian palm oil exports have become more competitive in the international markets. As such, CPO average selling price (ASP) made a meaningful recovery in 4Q13 to ~MYR2,600/t (+MYR340/t YoY). Maybank Research believes the current CPO price is sustainable. Higher CPO and PK prices, lower fertilizer costs, and FFB recovery will be the key earnings drivers in 2014.

Felda Holdings Berhad (FHB), a 49% controlled entity of FGV, is the world’s largest producer of crude palm oil (CPO) based on production volume in 2012. FHB produced 3.3 million tonnes of CPO in 2012 and owns 71 palm oil mills and 5 palm oil refineries in Malaysia.

GENP currently owns 6 oil mills in Malaysia (1 in Peninsular Malaysia and 5 in Sabah). As at 31 December 2012, the GENP’s combined land bank is a combined 228,700 hectare. GENP is also involved in property development.

KLK is another plantation counter with significant exposure to the palm oil business. KLK boasts a plantation land bank of close to 250,000 hectares spread across Malaysia (Peninsular and Sabah) and Indonesia (Belitung Island, Sumatra, central and east Kalimantan). It is also involved in the oleochemical business in Malaysia, China and Europe.
