Trading volume was far from what we wanted. Velocity was very low, at about 25 per cent (for the whole of 2005).

As petrol prices increase, the global demand for more sustainable energy sources will also rise. Malaysia is the world's largest palm oil producers and palm oil is the world's most traded vegetable oil.

Crude palm oil (CPO) futures have remained strong on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives for the past 25 years and will continue to be the world's largest derivatives exchange dealing in palm oil contracts.

If I was to say where we were, I'd say we were at about 80-85 per cent where we can be.

close to 100 per cent.

I've been aghast about how rapidly they've lost trading volume.
