Labour shortage in plantations 80% resolved, says Fadillah

KUALA LUMPUR: The labour shortage in oil palm plantations is about 80% sorted and approvals have been given to fully resolve the situation, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

Fadillah, who is also Plantation and Commodities Minister, said the remaining challenge was to ensure that there are enough migrant workers from source countries as certain states like Sarawak do not accept Bangladeshis.
