How Malaysia-China palm oil trade spurs green development
In the first half of 2024, trade between China and ASEAN reached 3.36 trillion yuan ($463 billion), an increase of 10.5 percent year on year. As one of the most important edible oil imports for China, palm oil remains a key commodity that China imports from ASEAN, with Malaysia as its second largest import source, just behind Indonesia.
At a recent Malaysia-China Green Value Chain Partnership roundtable dialogue event, CGTN’s Emma Ho speaks with industry representatives and government officials to learn more about how the palm oil trade between the two countries is advancing the green agenda.
