Putrajaya working to address shortage of raw materials in cocoa industry, says minister

KOTA KINABALU, June 23 — 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.

Zuraida said one of the important measures being taken by the government to address the issue was to increase the upstream activities of the cocoa industry, especially to increase cocoa cultivation and plantation in the country. “There is demand for cocoa products but currently we do not have enough raw materials, we still do not have enough crop area, so we are trying to increase it,” she told a press conference after attending the 2022 Malaysian Cocoa Industry Award ceremony here last night.
