Mumbai, June 2014: The Malaysia Palm Oil Trade Fair and Seminar, 2014, (POTS), is to be organised by the Malaysian Palm Oil council (MPOC) on 26^th June 2014 in the business capital of India, Mumbai.

The importance that Malaysia places on its trade relations with India, more specifically in the vegetable oils sector, is emphasised by the fact that the Hon Y.B. Dato Sri Douglas Uggah Embas, Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities of the Government of Malaysia, has agreed to be the Chief Guest at the POTS 2014.

The seminar will cover many topics, with well-known speakers like Dr Julian McGill, LMC International UK who will be talking about Supply, Demand and Price Outlook of Vegetable Oil Market; Tan Sri Datuk Dr Yusof Basiron, CEO of MPOC, to talk on Malaysian Palm Oil and Its Role in the Global and Oils and Fats Supply Chain; Mr Dorab Mistry, Godrej UK, to talk on Indian Vegetable Oil Demand Scenario: Impact on Global Oils and Fats Prices in 2014; and many others.   

MPOC is grateful for the tremendous support it has received from the trade and industry and expects this event to be a grander success than similar events in the past.
