Abstract

In an interview with The Straits Times, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Salahuddin Ayub said there are plans to plant more food crops on agricultural land, including in oil palm plantations.

The move would help raise farmers’ income amid weak palm oil prices and criticism from the West that the industry contributes to widespread deforestation.
