TAWAU: Initiatives by the Sabah government to develop the downstream industries in the state including the processing of palm oil products are starting to benefit the local people.

One such initiative is the production of cooking oil by Benta Wawasan Sdn Bhd (BWSB), a Tawau-based oil palm plantation company that has ventured into the downstream business and along the way, created job opportunities for the locals here.
