Malaysia will be moving its palm oil business headquarters from South Africa to Kenya as the country looks to position Nairobi as its base for re-exports to the rest of the Sub-Saharan region.

The move is also in line with Malaysia’s grand plan to shift part of its processing to Nairobi as well as expanding its plantation.
