<p> The benchmark palm oil contract on the Malaysia Bursa closed at a record high of RM4,524/mt at the mid-day close the 12 May. The previous high was in March 2008. That gain in palm oil has moved in tandem with a rally in the vegetable oil complex, which has eked out the sharpest increase of all the agricultural commodities in the past year.</p>
