MELAKA: The Sustainable Oil Palm Growers Cooperatives (KPSM) under the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) are urged to play a proactive role so that abandoned palm plantations can be developed through replanting projects in an effort to increase the nation's palm oil production.

Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said there are around 1.7 million hectares of oil palm plantations that are over 19 years old in the country and if not dealt with immediately it will have a significant impact on the country's palm oil production and export.
