Key South Asia Trade & Export Facts
Executive Trade Overview: Malaysian Palm Oil Supply to South Asia
South Asia represents the world’s largest import corridor for Malaysian edible oils, purchasing over 9 million Metric Tons of palm oil annually. Driven by India’s massive consumer market, Pakistan’s Vanaspati Ghee industry, and Bangladesh’s industrial food manufacturing sector, Malaysian origin is preferred across South Asian ports due to its shorter ocean transit times (10–14 days from Port Klang), reliable vessel berth availability, superior physical refining parameters (DOBI >2.30 for CPO, FFA <0.10% for Olein), and preferential import duty treatment under the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement (Form E COO). PalmAzia provides direct refinery vessel chartering and container flexitank dispatches to major South Asian ports: Nhava Sheva (Mumbai), Kolkata, Kandla, Kakinada, Karachi, Port Qasim, and Chittagong.
