Fearing the impact of EU ban

Helping hand: A palm oil plantation in Belaga. Salcra hopes to create employment opportunities for the rural people in the agriculture sector.

Sarawakians should be aware of a looming threat to our essential palm oil exports that will potentially impact the state’s revenues and many of our communities.

In Sarawak, there are many oil palm growers – either they are independent smallholders, organised smallholders under the Sarawak Land Consolidation & Rehabilitation Authority (Salcra) or Felcra or those participating on a joint venture with private sector under Land Custody and Development Authority (LCDA or Pelita).
