Labour boost to CPO output


Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government, along with several major palm oil producers, is working on a plan to elevate the fresh fruit bunch (FFB) harvesting job into a profession with bright prospects and better wages for harvesters moving forward, says newly appointed Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.

He noted that this would help solve the labour shortage issue, which continues to plague the local palm oil industry.
