Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.

KUALA LUMPUR: Industry players and smallholders need to increase the production of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and crude palm oil (CPO) to maintain the relevance of the Malaysian palm industry, said Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.

He said the government would not open new plantation areas but instead would focus on efforts to increase the yields.
