Message from
Chief Executive Officer MATRADE
The palm oil industry of Malaysia is the fourth largest contributor to the country’s
gross national income, accounting for about 8% or equivalent to RM50 billion
annually. The industry is also the largest producer of biomass, with virtually
every part of the tree useful in the creation of products ranging from plywood
to biofuels.
It is because of the group opportunities in this sector that Malaysia Exporters
of Biomass and Related Services Directory is published to serve as a sourcing
guide for the foreign buyers. I believe this Directory will be a useful reference
business contacts with Malaysian companies offering biomass products and
services for the industry.
Thank you.
