Cabinet reshuffle: Important to think outside the box, says Johari after taking over portfolio

KUALA LUMPUR: Commodities comprise nearly half of the agriculture sector's contribution to the Malaysian economy and newly-appointed Plantations and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani says it is important to think outside the box.

He said the agriculture sector contributes 8.9% of the nation's GDP (gross domestic product).
