12 Treasuring the Past Charting the Future
GLOBAL ECONOMICS & MARKETING CONFERENCE The Global Economics & Marketing Conference (GEM) will highlight the importance of palm oil by treasuring the past performance/achievements of palm oil especially in Malaysia and charting the industry’s future in the world oils and fats complex. Leading experts and speakers, both local and international will share their views and experiences on this subject matter.
SESSION 1 • PALM OIL THE DRIVER OF GLOBAL OILS AND FATS The global competitiveness of palm oil will determine the future demand of palm oil in the oils and fats market by consumers since palm oil is deemed as the driver of global oils and fats. In spite of the emergence of new markets, China and India still retain their positions as the major importers of palm oil. Thus, it is vital to continue to focus on these markets. Apart from this, it is worth exploring the cost of production of other oilseeds and oils and fats since the industry is very competitive in nature. Pertinent themes related to these areas will also be deliberated by eminent speakers.
SESSION 2 • SUSTAINING PALM OIL ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS AND ENVIRONMENT The increasing challenge in maintaining the competitiveness of palm oil in the world market is that of allegations of environment mismanagement in the oil palm sector, particularly related to the sustainable production of palm oil. Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have raised concerns on the need to promote sustainability in food production. As such, in order to promote the competitive growth and use of sustainable palm oil, the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) has been established. Malaysian oil palm plantations are also too dependent on foreign workers, which could affect the development of this sector. Therefore, it is timely for the industry players, especially oil palm plantations, to promote the use of mechanisation in their oil palm plantations. Prominent speakers will deliberate on appropriate strategies to meet the challenges faced by the industry.
SESSION 3 • ECONOMIC CHALLENGES IN SUSTAINING THE FUTURE FOR PALM OIL The Malaysian oil palm industry is currently confronted with increasing competition not only from other palm oil producing countries but also discriminatory trade impediments imposed in the importing countries. In order to sustain the industry’s competitiveness, the way forward is to increase the downstream activities, while enhancing the upstream activities through upgrading both infrastructure, facilities and logistics. Experts in the palm oil industry will share the fruits of their thoughts and expertise in these areas.
SESSION 4 • TRADE AND FUTURE MARKET OUTLOOK FOR PALM OIL Palm oil has witnessed a meteoric rise since the last century. The world oils and fats complex and how it affects palm oil supply and demand in the future will be looked into. Coupled with this, the volatility of palm oil prices will subsequently lead to the instability in the demand for palm oil. Thus there is a great need for market diversification of palm oil in order to strengthen the export and price performance of palm oil in the long run. Palm oil experts will share their expertise and experience in these areas. The competitiveness of Malaysian palm oil through branding will also be elucidated.
