“If your window of purchasing is six months, then it’s not a bad idea for you to be buying,” said Mohd Haris Mohd Arshad, the managing director of Sime Darby Oils, a downstream unit of Sime Darby Plantation Bhd. “The market has not priced in the risks,” he said in an interview.

Concerns over fresh sowing in Ukraine following Russia’s attack have made edible oil markets jittery, with prices of palm and soybean oils, the two most used oils, surging to records.
