For 2017/18, total overall imports of corn into Malaysia are forecast to increase to 4 million tons. Even so, U.S. exports of corn are likely to increase to 320,000 tons, due to positive acceptance of U.S. corn among Malaysian feed millers as pricing is competitive and supplies are reliable. For 2018/19, imports of corn are forecast to slightly increase to 4.1 million tons. Malaysia’s wheat imports for 2017/18 are forecast to increase to 1.9 million tons. For 2018/19, wheat imports are forecast to stagnant at 1.9 million tons. U.S. wheat exports to Malaysia are estimated to increase to 210,000 tons, as demand for quality bread and bakery goods increases with rising living standards among Malaysian urbanites. Due to price and long distances, there has been no U.S. rice exported to Malaysia for the last few years, and this is likely to remain unchanged in the short term.
