AN
INVITATION
The Malaysian Palm Oil Board International Palm

Oil Congress (PIPOC) is a biennial event organized
by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB). PIPOC
will once again be held at the Kuala Lumpur
Convention Center (KLCC), which offers a
stimulating environment for conferences and
exhibitions. PIPOC 2011 attracted more than 6000
participants and trade visitors from 58 countries
and bore testimony to one of the worlds largest
palm oil technical and trade congregations.
Datuk Dr. Choo Yuen May

Director-General
MPOB
PIPOC 2013 has five concurrent conferences to

provide a strategic platform for interaction and
in-depth deliberation on the many facets of the
oil palm and the palm oil industry, ranging from
innovations, latest developments, challenges and
the way forward for the industry. A trade exhibition
with more than 200 exhibition booths will also be
held throughout the Congress. This would provide
opportunities for delegates to view and discuss
current technologies, state-of-the-art equipment
and products related to the oils and fats industry.
The exhibition also provides excellent networking
opportunities for buyers and sellers.
PIPOC 2013 themed Green Opportunities from

The Golden Crop will focus on palm oil as the
powerhouse in the oils and fats market. The
remarkable performance of the Malaysian oil palm
industry has contributed to the growth of the
national economy and world oils and fats market.
The dynamic development and advancement of
the palm oil industry provide endless sustainable
opportunities for the economic growth of the
oils and fats business. PIPOC 2013 will focus on
sustainable production, versatility of applications
in both the edible and non-edible sectors, as well
as being a formidable player in the global oils and
fats market.
PIPOC 2013 is expected to draw more than 7000

participants and trade visitors comprising mainly
CEOs, directors, researchers, policy makers,
millers, traders and exporters and all who are
involved either directly or indirectly in the oil palm
industry.
I therefore take this opportunity to invite you to

join industry leaders and hear from notable and
renowned speakers and learn their views, at this
not-to-be-missed event - PIPOC 2013, from 19 - 21
November 2013 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention
Centre.
With Best Wishes.

EVENING FORUM
2013
Change: The Only Constant Thing in Life is a common phrase we hear

and was the basis of the last PIPOC discussion. We dissected the many
facets of change that the industry faced from issues pertaining to plantation
management, to food security and of policies affecting both trade and
the economy of the industry as a whole. Through the understanding of
these changes and the need to keep moving forward, the industry is
poised to shift its paradigm by adopting innovative strategies that are
technology driven, yet ecologically sensitive. This will be the focus of the
Evening Forum of PIPOC 2013. The Forum will provide a platform for
critical discussion, intellectual exchange and driving initiatives for the oil
palm community. The Forum has an exciting line up of panel members
from the public sector, industry as well as academicians to lead the
dialogue. We look forward to your participation at this Evening Forum.
