Deputy Chief Minister III and State Minister of Industrial Development Datuk Joachim Gunsalam said that the palm oil industry was one that needed close monitoring, together with investors, and that the state has considered setting up its own palm oil board before. He said this during the question-and-answer session at the State Assembly today, in response to Elopura assemblyman Calvin Chong.
He said that the formation of such a body in the state is needed to empower downstreaming activities which the state lacks.
