KUALA LUMPUR, March 13 — Malaysia’s palm oil has attained a high level branding internationally.

This is not only as a top quality edible oil but also due to Malaysia’s reliability in supplying to a global market that continues to face a severe shortage of oil and fats, a top industry official said.

Tan Sri Dr Yusof Basiron, the Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), said Malaysia was recognised as a key supplier to food security globally.
