The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) reports revised June oleochemical exports of 225,098 tonnes and preliminary July exports of 267,576 tonnes. Against that revised June base, July increased by 42,478 tonnes, or 18.87% month on month.

July exports rebound after a decline
July exports exceeded January, February, March, May and June, but remained below April. They were 30,536 tonnes, or about 10.2%, below April's period high of 298,112 tonnes. July ranked second among the first seven months, below April.

Unit: tonnes; July preliminary, June revised

January–July exports totaled 1,723,272 tonnes, averaging about 246,182 tonnes a month. The monthly series shows exports fluctuating between 203,000 and 298,100 tonnes this year, peaking in April, declining in June and recovering in July. The July rebound alone does not establish a sustained growth trend.
Aggregate exports and individual product markets
The rebound shows that Malaysian oleochemical export volume increased in July from June. MPOB does not publish plant operating rates, order concentration or product-specific shipping schedules in this table, so the aggregate cannot establish supply timing.
Export volume measures quantity and does not provide transaction prices, trade terms or profit information. Growth in volume does not mean that prices, profits or purchasing costs changed in the same direction.
Aggregate categories cannot replace product-level data
The Oleochemical item in MPOB's table is an aggregate, without a breakdown by fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerine, grade, destination or transaction price. Individual transactions still require the product name, CAS number, specification, origin, quantity, packaging and shipment window.
