SETIU: The Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry (KPPK) is targeting 1,000ha of kenaf cultivation in Terengganu by the end of the year.

Its minister Datuk Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali said the crop was currently being grown on over 391.6ha of land in Terengganu and he was optimistic that the target could be achieved as the state had more than 8,000 parcels of idle land.
