KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 — Malaysia will impose a five per cent export tax on crude palm oil (CPO) for April 2020.

The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) said the tax for March 2020 was set at six per cent.

On its website, MPOB said the palm oil reference price is calculated at RM2,631.07 per tonne effective next month and no tax would be imposed on CPO priced below RM2,250 per tonne.
