Malaysian palm oil industry to focus on friendly trade partners: minister


KUALA LUMPUR, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Malaysia will focus its palm on trade with friendly partners, especially China in the face of hostility from Western nations, Minister of Plantation and Commodities Fadillah Yusof said on Thursday.

The constant demonization and attacks against the sector as well as new regulations, which act as trade barriers, could cripple the economically critical palm oil industry in Malaysia, Fadillah said at the Palm Oil Economic Review and Outlook Seminar 2023.
