About East Malaysia Palm
& Lauric Oils
Price Outlook Conference
& Exhibition
Bursa Malaysia Derivatives is proud to present the 2nd East Malaysia Palm & Lauric Oils Price Outlook Conference & Exhibition (emPOC2023).
For over 30 years, Bursa Malaysia Derivatives’ flagship POC event has served as an annual congregation of key decision makers and thought leaders in the global edible oils industry. In addition to our renowned POC in Kuala Lumpur, we have brought this event to Sabah for the first time in 2022, acknowledging the growing significance of the crude palm oil supply market in the East Malaysia region. Following the success of the inaugural emPOC, we are thrilled to host this year's edition in Sarawak.
emPOC2023 provides valuable opportunities for participants to network and get updates on topics surrounding the supply and demand of palm and major edible oils, latest developments in deforestation regulation and the industry’s progress towards achieving net zero emission.
