PORAM has been playing a huge role in regulating the quality of Malaysian palm oil products. Back in the 1970s when the industry was still in its infancy, PORAM "started the ball rolling".
It formulated standard contracts, products specifications and the arbitration rules for palm oil trade that are today widely used globally
