India to remain palm oil buyer, but Malaysia must not be complacent — expert

KUALA LUMPUR (July 24): India will remain the main export destination for the world's top largest palm oil producers — Indonesia and Malaysia — for the foreseeable future given the time taken for India to get its agriculture sector upgraded and modernised, Palm Oil Analytics owner and co-founder Dr Sathia Varqa said.

Plastics firms stretching for growth

July 21, 2020

Tomypak, a plastic flexible packaging (PFP) producer headquartered in Senai, Johor, also sees opportunities from rising demand resulting from the new norm, as people are buying more packaged food.

“There has been higher demand over the past three months, compared with the same period in prior years. Customers are also providing forecasts [for orders] for the next three to six months. This will facilitate more efficient production planning and procurement of raw materials,” the company tells The Edge via email.

Considering that Tomypak is primarily in F&B — a growing segment — it expects this year to be better than last year, not only for sales, but also for operational improvements from the transformation programme put in place in 2018.

“We expect demand for our products will continue to be strong. As the market evolves towards the new normal, there will be more opportunities to move from traditional to safer and more hygienic packaging,” it says.

Tomypak adds that shareholders will be able to see better financial results in the coming years, as a substantial part of the transformation programme has been implemented.

“This should result in much better performance. The company also hopes the trend towards more hygienic food packaging, compared with paper, will mean a larger growing market,” it says.

It adds that the plastics industry is expected to experience better growth in the immediate future.

“Naturally, with our new factory and enhanced capacity, we hope to be able to meet the expected market growth. Flexible packaging deploying new plastic-based materials that are more resistant to viruses will experience an increase in demand,” it concludes.
