16/02/2023 (New Straits Times), Kuala Lumpur - Efforts to promote Malaysian palm oil-based products will continue to be enhanced by the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC).
"The Plantation and Commodities Ministry (MPIC) and related agencies are involved in bilateral free trade agreements to enhance access to markets and widen the use of the commodity in the importing countries.
"Malaysia and Indonesia, through the Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC), are striving to solidify sustainable environmental practices, supply management, and the development of smallholders," the ministry said on the parliament website in reply to queries from members of parliament.
On the mechanism for the price of cooking oil, MPIC said it is working with other ministries to refine its implementation for the domestic market.
