The initiative, which aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda, will focus on expanding oil palm cultivation, modernizing processing facilities, and strengthening market linkages for smallholder farmers. It will also encourage private sector investment to enhance competitiveness and drive exports.
The proposal includes the acquisition and development of approximately 14,000 hectares for plantations and associated agro industrial activities.
This performance reflects resilience amid volatile commodity markets, driven by strong contributions from its core segments in food products, feed, industrial products, plantations, and sugar milling.
This decline was primarily driven by a sharp decrease in refined palmolein shipments.
Success could reduce import bills, boost agro-processing jobs, and position the nation competitively against larger producers like Indonesia and Malaysia.
