Minister confident that RM75bil palm oil export target in 2021 will be met


PETALING JAYA: With the additional funds allocated to the Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry, its Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali (pic) believes that this year's palm oil export of RM75bil will be met.

He said this is because the additional funds allowed the purchase of additional machinery, adding that the total exports for the agri-commodity sector in 2020 have increased by 17.11% to RM150.5bil, compared to RM128.5bil in 2019.
