It has a competitive advantage over other oilmeals due to its consistent supply and competitive price. However, increasing production and export of other oilmeals coupled with changes in meat preferences worldwide are affecting the competitiveness of Malaysian PKE. Future development in the world livestock market will play a pivotal role in spearheading the future competitiveness of the Malaysian PKE.

The main use of PKE as ingredients in ruminant feedstuff does not fetch a good price for PKE due to the highly competitive world oilmeals market. Applications of PKE in the food sector with technology advancement provide some hope for PKE to obtain a better price in the future. The widening uses and the improved quality of PKE will improve the market of PKE either locally or internationally.
