KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia is aiming to re-establish itself as a leading cocoa hub in Asia, with Sabah playing a vital role in this ambition, says Deputy Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Chan Foong Hin.
He said the global cocoa industry is facing significant supply disruptions due to disease outbreaks in cocoa plantations and illegal mining activities in major producers such as Ivory Coast and Ghana.
