PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia will open up more agricultural commodity markets in anticipation of greater challenges and stricter rules at the global level, says Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

The Plantation and Commodities Minister said one of the challenges came from the European Union Deforestation Regulation, which prohibits deforestation for agricultural commodities like oil palm, rubber, cocoa and coffee.
