KOTA KINABALU: A policy initiative will be put in place to set Sabah up as a global leader in sustainable palm oil, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji ...

He encouraged palm oil industry players in Malaysia to invest in the downstream palm oil industry by developing oleochemical factories in Sabah, as there is none at the moment. Hajiji said the Sabah government will push the momentum to ensure the state’s participation in the oil palm downstream sector to maximise its advantage as a major player in planting and producing palm oil in Malaysia. Hajiji said the state government had established the Palm Oil Industrial Clusters (POIC)at Lahad Datu and POIC Sandakan as a development hub for the palm oil industry to spearhead the development of palm oil-based downstream activities. He attributed the increase in the price of CPO to the rise in the world soybean oil price, the disruption of palm oil supply as a result of labour shortages in the plantation sector and the effect of the increase in Brent crude oil prices in the world market. “For the period of January to August 2022, the export of palm oil and other palm-based products amounted to 3.04 million tonnes has increased by 58,343 tonnes compared with 2.98 million tonnes in the same period last year,” he said. The export value of palm oil and other palm-based products generated by the state amounted to RM19.9bil, a hike of 32.7% compared to about RM15bil in 2020, he said.
