Today almost half of Malaysia's cultivated land consists of oil palm. In Sabah and Sarawak, most (i.e. more than 70 percent) oil palm plantations are government owned, and small landowners control only a tiny fraction of the overall crop: 6 percent in Sabah, 3 percent in Sarawak. In Indonesia, the distribution is much different. Small holders control roughly 30 percent of oil palm plantations, while state-owned estates account for 20 percent. The balance, around 50 percent, is owned by large investors, who have the highest yields. The biggest importers of Malaysian palm oil are China, Indian, Pakistan, the Netherlands, and Egypt, while the largest consumers of Indonesian palm oil are India (3 times more than the next larger user), China, Netherlands, Malaysia, and Pakistan
