A POLICY initiative will be put in place to protect the resilience of the palm oil sector and set Sabah up as a global leader in sustainable palm oil, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

.He said this initiative will be done through the concurrent implementation of the Jurisdictional Certification of Sustainable Palm Oil and Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil certification. “These certifications aim at achieving the internationally-recognised Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil standard.“Consistently and over the years, various initiatives have been introduced and implemented by the State Government to ensure the palm oil sector remains the State’s key economic driver.

“With export contributions amounting to billions of ringgit, it is without a doubt that the palm oil industry plays a major role in boosting the State’s economic growth and reaping socio-economic benefits for the people,” he said. At the moment, he said nine palm oil refineries are operating in Sabah with a processing capacity of 7.48 million tonnes per year, with two biodiesel factories operating to produce 300,000 tonnes of palm-based biofuel annually.

If there are certain people or opposition claiming that there is no development in Kota Marudu, this we cannot accept.
