Malaysia palm oil millers halt production as CPO prices plummet


KUALA LUMPUR: Some palm oil millers in Malaysia, the world's second largest producer, have temporarily halted production following a dramatic plunge in prices of the edible oil, a senior official from a miller's association said on Monday.

Malaysian crude palm oil (CPO) prices have seen their biggest one-month decline in more than 13 years in June, tumbling 22% from a high of RM6,632 a tonne to RM4,922 on Monday, erasing most of this year's gains.
