Palm products available through our network
Our palm range covers two refined frying oils, both available for export from Thailand. The main line is Yok Refined Palm Olein, which the catalog lists as Refined Palm Olein from Pericarp. The second is Moonlight Refined Palm Kernel Oil, catalogued for deep-frying in a 1 L refill pack.
Palm olein is the liquid fraction of palm oil, which comes from the fruit flesh (pericarp) of the oil palm. Palm kernel oil comes from the seed inside the fruit. They are different oils, so state which one you need at the start of any enquiry. You can compare both on our palm oil page.
What the catalog says about each oil
The catalog positions Yok Refined Palm Olein as an all-purpose frying oil. It is described as ideal for all types of frying, suitable for repeated frying without compromising quality, and as delivering long-lasting crispiness while enhancing the natural taste of food. The catalog also refers to a high smoke point for stable cooking performance and lists beta-carotene, Omega 3, 6 & 9 and Vitamin E among its features.
Moonlight Refined Palm Kernel Oil is listed for deep-frying, again with long-lasting crispiness, and is described as rich in Omega 6 & 9. Both oils are aimed at frying, but their pack formats point them at different customers: palm olein covers everything from retail bottles to food-service tins, while the palm kernel oil is catalogued only as a 1 L refill.
If you plan to repeat nutrition wording such as Omega or Vitamin E content on your own labels or sales material, check it against your market's labelling rules first.
Matching the pack format to your channel
Yok Refined Palm Olein has the widest pack range in the whole catalog, which is useful if you serve several channels from one supplier. Retail importers usually work with the bottles and refill pack, while restaurant and catering suppliers start from the 13.75 L and 18 L formats. The catalog formats are listed below.
For a fuller breakdown of which formats suit which customers across the whole range, see our guide to edible oil packaging sizes.
- Consumer bottles: 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L and 2 L
- Refill pack: 1 L (Yok palm olein and Moonlight palm kernel oil)
- Mid-size: 5 L, between retail and food service
- Food service: 13.75 L and 18 L, each catalogued as a tin and as a box
Questions to ask any Thailand palm oil supplier
Whoever you buy from, a short set of questions early on saves time later. Clear answers tell you whether a supplier can support repeat orders, not just a single shipment.
- Which brand and exact product will be supplied, and is it refined palm olein or a different palm product?
- Which pack formats are available now, and do you want tin or box for 13.75 L and 18 L?
- Can a product specification sheet and a certificate of analysis be provided for the goods shipped?
- Which export documents are included, and which must the buyer arrange?
- How are price, minimum quantity and lead time set, and how long is the quotation valid?
- Can palm olein be combined with other oils or bakery fats in the same order?
Specifications, documents and allocation
We do not publish technical figures that the catalog does not state. If your market or your quality team needs parameters beyond the catalog description, ask for the specification sheet with your quotation and we will provide what is available for that product.
Documentation is supplied where applicable and on request. Buyers typically ask for a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and certificate of analysis, and some destinations also call for a health certificate. Check your own country's import and food-safety requirements before ordering, because they decide which documents you actually need.
Minimum order quantity, price and lead time depend on the product, pack format, quantity and destination, and availability is subject to current allocation. All of these are confirmed in the quotation.
Next step: request a palm oil quotation
For an accurate quote, send the product and brand (for example Yok Refined Palm Olein), the pack size and, for 13.75 L or 18 L, whether you want tin or box. Add the quantity, your destination country and port, and the documents you need with the shipment. Submit the details through our request a quote form or email export@tamechcoltd.com. If you want to add soybean oil or margarine to the same enquiry, browse the Yok brand range.
