The article explains the increase in the basic reference price of edible palm oil in Myanmar, which has risen above 1,7000 Myanmar Kyats. This price is determined daily by the Edible Oil Import, Storage and Distribution Industry Supervision Committee, who calculate it based on the FOB price of Malaysia, along with additional costs such as transportation, bank fees, and taxes. The committee then publishes the adjusted price for the domestic market. The article also highlights the regulations in place to prevent the selling of edible palm oil at excessive prices or for speculative purposes in the domestic market of Myanmar, with violators facing accountability under the Important Goods and Services Act.
