“In order to ensure the demand for palm oil is not just enjoyed by large companies the government has expanded its outreach to help smaller planters. Lim said the government hopes that these new innovations will increase productivity and income of smallholders. Under the MoU related to palm oil, signed by Primary Industries Ministry’s secretary-general Datuk Dr Tan Yew Chong on behalf of Malaysia, China agreed to buy an additional supply of at least 1.9 million tonnes of edible oil from Malaysia over five years starting 2019.Lim said besides the government will also provide help to farmers in obtaining their Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil certification.
