PETALING JAYA: Despite the gradual return of foreign workers to the oil palm plantation sector, industry experts remain sceptical of potential growth in terms of crude palm oil (CPO) production this year.

While CPO production is set to improve in 2023, Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) chief executive Joseph Tek Choon Yee said the growth would be lower versus the past decades.
