The finding revealed that the currency rate of exchange, the foreign trade price of Malaysian palm oil to China, and the international soy oil price significantly influence Malaysian palm oil demand in China.

The demand for Malaysian palm oil in China was not significantly impacted by the palm oil price offered by Indonesia, neither in the long run nor short run.
