OREANDA-NEWS. March 11, 2015. Malaysia's palm oil stocks at the end of February fell 1.5 percent to 1,743,102 tonnes against a revised 1,770,142 tonnes at the end of January, industry regulator Malaysian Palm Oil Board said on Tuesday.

The drop is not as steep as that expected by a Reuters poll that pegged inventories to fall to an eight-month low of 1.67 million tonnes after flooding in Borneo and a shorter working month due to a festive holiday may have pushed output in the No.2 grower to its weakest level in four years.
