据路透社2月28日吉隆坡报道，由于受到减值损失、规定条款以及较低棕榈油价格的影响，周四，世界上最大的原油棕榈油生产商，马来西亚FGV控股公司公布其去年第四季度利润亏损，而上年同期则有盈利。

根据FGV报告，截至去年12月的第四季度净亏损2.088亿林吉特（合5131万美元），而上年同期的利润为5040万林吉特。

由于原油棕榈油价格的下跌，去年第四季度的收入从上年同期的43亿林吉特下降到32亿林吉特。

FGV首席执行长Haris Fadzilah Hassan在一份声明中说：“第四季度，种植园业务的重点是堵住漏洞、修改流程和实施新的控制措施，以使我们的资产与业内其他大型企业保持一致。其中一些举措已经开始取得成果，在2019年这些改进将更加明显。”

Malaysia's FGV posts Q4 losses on impairment losses, lower palm prices

Malaysia’s FGV Holdings Berhad, the world’s largest crude palm oil producer, swung to a fourth-quarter net loss on Thursday from a profit in the same period a year ago, hurt by impairment losses, provisions and lower palm oil prices.

FGV reported a net loss of 208.8 million ringgit ($51.31 million) for the quarter ended December, versus a 50.4 million ringgit profit a year earlier.

Revenue stood at 3.2 billion ringgit, down from 4.3 billion ringgit last year, in line with a drop in crude palm oil prices.

“In the fourth quarter, the plantation operations were focused on plugging leaks, revising processes and implementing new controls to bring our estate performance in line with other large players in the industry,” FGV Holding chief executive Haris Fadzilah Hassan said in a statement.

“Some of these initiatives are already starting to bear fruit, but the improvements will be more visible in 2019.”
