KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures slipped on Tuesday after climbing to their highest in nearly three weeks in the previous session, as traders fretted about slow export demand ahead of cargo surveyor data.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for April delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange slid 39 ringgit, or 0.99%, to 3,897 ringgit ($917.59) a tonne in early trade after a three-day climb.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Cargo surveyors are scheduled to release their January export data later in the day. Exports from Malaysia during Jan. 1-25 slumped between 28% and 35% from a month earlier due to weaker demand from key markets Europe, China, and India, according to cargo surveyor data.

* Indonesia's trade minister said on Monday cooking oil producers must increase supply to the domestic market by 50% for the next three months to meet rising demand ahead of Islamic religious festivities.

* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 fell 0.5%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 eased 1.3%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were up 0.1%.

* Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.

* Palm oil may test a support at 3,888 ringgit per tonne, a break below which could open the way towards 3,796 ringgit, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. TECH/C
