The Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) model is employed to analyse cointegration and causality among these variables using weekly data from January 1980 to December 2022. The empirical results show a reduction in the level of cointegration by 0.017% with soybean futures, 0.179% with exchange rates and no cointegration with Brent crude oil futures after implementing BMDB’s international strategy. The results from this study contribute to more robust financial models for the FCPO market and provide empirical input to authorities on how policy or strategy shapes the relationship between FCPO and competitor oils so that BMDB can maintain FCPO status as a global index reference.

These Malaysian palm oil multinationals which we call palm oil-based multinationals (POB MNE) are undertaking foreign direct investments (FDI) in developing as well as developed countries. The motives of their FDI are explained using the internationalisation theory. The internationalisation of POB MNE will require new roles for key institutions supporting the Malaysian palm oil industry. This is especially in the case of MPOB which undertakes research activities which are funded from cess levied on the palm oil industry.
