The major players in the palm oil industry in Malaysia are shown in Figure 7;
the players are
grouped under the following clusters:

production of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and processing them into crude palm oil
and palm kernel.
2) Downstream producers – palm oil refiners, palm kernel crushers, manufacture
of palm-based edible products and specialty oils and fats,
3) Exporters and Importers of palm oil
4) Customers - institutional buyers and retail customers and investors
5) Industry organizations representing the interests of the upstream and
downstream producers
6) Government agencies associated with the oil palm industry, particularly in
respect of research and development and regulatory functions.
7) Other players who have an interest and/or stake in the oil palm industry
