RTRS-Malaysia palm to fall 10 pct on slow demand -Fry
KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 - Malaysian crude palm oil prices will probably drop at least 10 percent in the next 6 months as a worsening global recession reduces food and fuel consumption, senior analyst James Fry said on Wednesday.

"If crude oil goes down, then the price will fall more." Bursa Malaysia palm oil futures edged lower on Wednesday, with the benchmark May contract down 2 ringgit to 1,993 ringgit per tonne.
