PUTRAJAYA, Jan 14 — The Ministry of Plantation, Industries and Commodities is eyeing an increase in cocoa exports this year to RM14 billion from RM7 billion last year, driven by the big market potential of the commodity globally.
“The cocoa industry has high potential and we see that Malaysia can explore and increase cocoa production for exports,” she told the media after launching a cocoa commercial and promotion video today. “Besides cocoa plantation and training of local entrepreneurs to produce chocolate, we are also concentrating on the grinding business which means cocoa beans are imported and we grind and re-export the powder.
“This would facilitate the movement of import and export. With a grinding facility, there is no need to go inland, as cocoa beans would be ready to be ground for export,” she added.
