Palm oil output is to increase by far more than last year.

In 2010, researchers determined a 1.1 percent increase in palm oil production from the previous year.  Apparently, that was "unusually small." But this year, the output may rise another 6.6 percent, equal to another 48.6 million metric tons of palm oil, along with a price decrease.
