Malaysia’s low oil palm replanting rate linked to rising FFB prices

Malaysia’s low oil palm replanting rate linked to rising FFB prices

KUALA LUMPUR : Rising fresh fruit bunch (FFB) prices have become a key deterrent to oil palm replanting efforts in Malaysia, with the 2024 rate falling to just 2.0 per cent against the industry’s 4-5 per cent annual target. Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani attributed this trend to short-term profit motives, as higher crude palm oil (CPO) and FFB prices incentivise growers to delay replacing aging trees. “The price of FFB is one of the key factors considered by plantation companies and oil palm estate owners when deciding whether to carry out replanting activities or not,“ Johari told the Dewan Rakyat. He noted that while current FFB prices averaged RM875 per tonne in 2024 – up from RM778 in 2023 – yields from older trees remain suboptimal, creating long-term productivity risks. Industry data reveals CPO prices rose to RM4,179.50 per tonne this year, reinforcing reliance on existing plantations. However, Johari warned that retaining unproductive trees beyond their 25-year lifespan slashes yields from 28 tonnes to just 4-5 tonnes per hectare. “This capital constraint causes delays in replanting oil palms,“ he said, highlighting how deferred replanting erodes future income stability. Additional barriers include Malaysia’s aging smallholder demographic and younger generations’ declining interest in palm cultivation. The minister emphasised that replanting must be viewed as a strategic investment, despite the temporary income gap during new trees’ non-yielding phase. “Long-term yield potential will be more secure if replanting is carried out in a planned manner,“ he stressed. - Bernama

Court orders Caprice to remove defamatory Instagram posts about businessman

Court orders Caprice to remove defamatory Instagram posts about businessman

KUALA LUMPUR : The High Court has ordered rapper Caprice to immediately remove defamatory Instagram posts about businessman Datuk Seri Jeyenderan Ramasamy. Judge Datuk Ahmad Shahrir Mohd Salleh granted an ad-interim injunction after Jeyenderan filed a lawsuit alleging that Caprice, whose real name is Ariz Ramli, had posted false claims linking him to criminal activities. The court also barred Caprice from making further defamatory statements pending a full hearing. Jeyenderan’s legal team confirmed the ruling, while Caprice’s lawyer acknowledged the order. The plaintiff, a shipping company CEO, claimed the posts damaged his reputation and caused financial losses. Jeyenderan stated that the posts, uploaded on July 10, falsely accused him of gangsterism and armed threats without evidence. He argued that Caprice, who has over 1.5 million Instagram followers, intended to harm his reputation. The defamatory content allegedly led to the cancellation of keynote speaking engagements in Dubai, Turkey, and India, costing him RM1 million in lost contracts. A letter of demand was issued on July 15, but Caprice rejected the terms through his lawyers. Jeyenderan is now seeking RM3 million in damages for reputational harm, alongside an injunction to prevent further defamation and a public apology. - Bernama
