MPOB has continued to provide leadership and has developed strong

research expertise in various areas. A remarkable count of more
than 340 technologies including new products and services have
been launched for commercialisation and adoption by the industry. This
has contributed towards accelerating the development of the industry
and provided opportunities for investments in oil palm-related
business.

MPOB will continue to contribute to the industry’s well-being and

future growth. It is MPOB’s vision to strive for quality R & D outputs
and to become Malaysia’s first R & D institution to produce a
