RTRS-Global vegoil output slowing on weaker prices - Mielke

KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 (Reuters) - Global vegetable oil output is expected to slow this year on weaker commodity prices, said leading Industry analyst Thomas Mielke on Thursday.
Mielke, head of German oilseeds research group Oil World, earlier told Reuters that Indonesia and Malaysia, the world's top palm producers, will see only a small rise in output this year due to tree stress after months of good harvests and less fertiliser usage.
