Work with oil palm smallholders and incentives may increase, PM tells industry players

KUALA LUMPUR: The allocation of incentives for oil palm replanting programmes may be increased if companies working in the industry can prove that they will work with smallholders, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister said this was because smallholders account for 28% of the total area used for palm oil production and there is a need for better synergy between the more successful and the lesser-performing stakeholders.
