Export from Malaysia

Malaysia consists of two similarly sized regions in southeast Asia: Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (Malaysian Borneo). The country shares it borders with Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and VietNam and has an active trade in the region and all the world, as it's been for centuries, and remains still so. Just think on the analytical facts: Malaysia shipped US$234.3 billion worth of products around the globe in 2014 up 2.5% from $229.3 billion one year earlier. The latest figure represents 1.3% of worldwide exports estimated at $18.2 trillion. 

The trade plays a large role in Malaysian economy. Malaysia has managed to maintain a positive trade balance, exporting more goods than it imports except in 1982, 1991 and 1994 - 1997.

Malaysia was once the world's largest producer of tin, rubber and palm oil. Its manufacturing sector has a crucial role in its economic growth. Malaysia is a relatively middle-income country, but it has transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy and means to lead these transformations to the future. 

Under current Prime Minister NAJIB, Malaysia is attempting to achieve high-income status by 2020 and to move farther up the value-added production chain by attracting investments in Islamic finance, high technology industries, biotechnology, and services. 

To make the steps in that direction, we can see there is NAJIB's Economic Transformation Program, which is a series of projects and policy measures intended to accelerate the country's economic growth. The government has also taken steps to liberalize some services sub-sectors. The NAJIB administration also is continuing efforts to boost domestic demand and reduce the economy's dependence on exports. 

But exports - and particularly of electronics exports, oil and gas exports, palm oil and rubber exports - remain a significant driver of the economy. Petroleum and natural gas suppliance, light manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, electronics and semi-conductors, timber processing, petroleum and natural gas production;  agriculture processing, petroleum and natural gas production remain Malaysian strong ponts.

Malaysia is a member of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement negotiations and, with the nine other ASEAN members, will form the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015.

Top 5 Products exported by Malaysia are Refined Petroleum, Petroleum Gas, Palm Oil, Integrated Circuits and Computers.

Top 5 Export destinations of Malaysia are the following countries Singapore, Japan, China, United States and Thailand.

Oils extracted from plants have been used since ancient times and in many cultures.  Many vegetable oils are consumed directly, or indirectly as ingredients in food – a role that they share with some animal fats, including butter, ghee, lard, and Schmaltz

Many vegetable oils are used to make soap, skin products, candles, perfumes and fragrances as well as other personal care and makeup products. Some oils are particularly suitable as drying oils, and are used in making paints, dyes, ink and other wood treatment products. Dammar oil (a mixture of linseed oil and dammar resin) is used almost exclusively in treating the hulls of wooden boats. Vegetable oils are increasingly being used in the electrical industry as insulators as vegetable oils are not toxic to the environment, biodegradable if spilled and have high flash and fire points.
