* Longer term fundamentals supportive of palm - trader

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures

rose on Wednesday, in line to snap three sessions of declines,

supported by strength in crude oil prices.

The benchmark palm oil contract for April delivery

on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose 0.6 percent to

2,267 ringgit ($557.96) a tonne at the midday break.

Palm had risen to a seven-month high last week before

falling to a three-week low in its previous session.

Trading volumes stood at 7,477 lots of 25 tonnes each at

noon. (1FCPO-TOT)

"The market is up due to a rise in crude oil prices last

night," said a Kuala Lumpur-based trader, adding that palm's

longer-term outlook was also supportive of the market.

"Production should drop at least 15 percent in February and

while exports will also fall, the decline won't be that sharp."

Output of palm oil, the world's most widely used edible oil,

typically declines during the first quarter of the year in line

with seasonal trend.

Exports of Malaysian palm oil products during Feb. 1-10 fell

11.2-15.8 percent from Jan. 1-10, according to cargo surveyors

AmSpec Agri Malaysia, Intertek Testing Services and Societe

Generale de Surveillance.

In other related oils, the Chicago March soybean oil

contract edged up 0.1 percent, while the May contract on

the Dalian Commodity Exchange fell 0.1 percent.

The Dalian January palm oil contract was up 0.2

percent.

Palm oil prices are affected by movements in soyoil rates,

as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oil market.

Palm oil may bounce towards 2,285 ringgit per tonne, as it

has found a support at 2,249 ringgit, said Wang Tao, a Reuters

market analyst for commodities and energy technicals.
