Don’t just rely on Indonesian, Bangladeshi workers, Zuraida tells palm oil producers

PETALING JAYA: Local palm oil producers should wean off reliance on Indonesian and Bangladeshi foreign workers amidst the “severe” shortage of about 120,000 workers, says Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin (pic).

Her call comes following delays in bringing some 32,000 foreign workers for the palm oil plantation which could have dire consequences on the nation as the second largest palm oil producers in the world.
