Malaysia is the world's second largest exporter of palm oil, a key component of many packaged foods and cosmetics. Malaysia's economy is highly dependent on the palm oil industry, which is the country's top agricultural export. In 2018, the broader agriculture sector contributed over 7% to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with nearly 40% of that coming from the palm oil industry
