The Work

A trade body that actually shows up.

Market access is not won in press releases. It is won at booth 4C12 in Dubai, in a ministerial meeting in Tashkent, in a quiet lunch with a buyer in Lagos. MPOC puts Malaysian palm oil producers in the same room as the world's largest food manufacturers, refiners, and government buyers.

The co-exhibitor model is the backbone. MPOC secures the booth, coordinates the logistics, and brings Malaysian companies along. IOI, KLK, Wilmar, FGV, SD Guthrie and two dozen others go to market under one Malaysian banner.

Flagship Programme

Malaysian Palm Oil Forum (MPOF)

MPOC's flagship industry engagement platform. MPOF brings Malaysian producers, refiners, and scientists directly to buyers, regulators, and media in key markets. In 2026 we run three editions: Kuala Lumpur as the biennial home flagship, plus two international editions in Shanghai and Lagos.

How It Works

From scoping to sale

01

Scope the Market

Regional office sizes the opportunity, maps buyers and regulators.

02

Book the Platform

MPOC secures booth space and opens co-exhibitor slots for Malaysian companies.

03

Show Up Together

Malaysian companies join under the MPOC banner. BizMatch runs in parallel.

04

Close & Follow Up

Potential sales tracked. Relationships handed to regional office for long-term nurturing.

This is how markets open.

Not through a press release. Through a handshake, a sample, and a booth that opens at 9am sharp.
