No plans to restrict export of crude palm oil, says Zuraida


KUALA LUMPUR: There are no plans by Malaysia to restrict the export of crude palm oil (CPO), said Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin.

"We have no interest in restricting the export of crude palm oil unlike Indonesia, because CPO export has been very profitable for the nation even during the pandemic," the Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister said when answering a supplementary question raised by Nga Kor Ming (PH-Teluk Intan) in Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (Nov 16).
