The composition of agricultural trade has undergone substantial change . On the
import side, wheat imports have grown significantly as bread consumption expanded with
continued urbanization and income growth. Cotton, imported for the textile industry,
retained its importance, while imports of feed ingredients, including soybeans, soybean
cake, and maize, grew to support the expanding livestock subsector. On the export side, oil
palm products are increasingly important, including exports of palm oil, which comes from
the fleshy part of the oil palm fruit, as well as palm kernel oil and palm kernel meal, which
come from the seed contained in each oil palm fruit. Coffee and cocoa, traditional exports,
have maintained their place among the top exports.
