KOTA KINABALU: The government together with stakeholders are now working to address the issue of raw material shortage facing the country's cocoa industry, said Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin.

She said the production of raw materials in the country, especially cocoa beans, at present could not meet the demand needed for the domestic cocoa products market, let alone to meet the demand for overseas markets.

"Currently, our processing hub in Johor has to import cocoa beans from abroad to export cocoa products, we have become a grinding centre now, if possible we want to grind our own beans for export.
