ALOR GAJAH, Jan 9 — The government will adopt a two-pronged strategic approach in strengthening the palm oil export market in the Asian region as well as addressing the issue of anti-palm oil campaign sentiment by the European Union .
“We know that the sentiment campaign is an old issue to lower the yield of palm oil products because it is a competition for the product market. Zuraida said among the countries in focus are those in Central and South Asia such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan as they are the country’s main importers of palm oil.
“This high demand factor is influenced by the way of life in the countries concerned which is based on food using cooking oil,” he said.
