Sarawak to halt expansion of oil palm plantation


PUTRAJAYA: Sarawak state government will not issue any new licences for the expansion of oil palm plantations, in line with its commitment to halt their expansion, said Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok.

“So the accusation that Malaysia is trying to expand its plantation area is not true, as both Sabah and Sarawak have given their commitment not to do so,” she told reporters at the Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) Forum 2018.
