KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 11): The Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities (KPPK) has given an assurance that oil palm plantations will be given permission to operate as usual if the government implements the movement control order (MCO) 2.0. Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali said this is important to ensure that palm oil production is not interrupted and the country could continue its commodity exports to the rest of the world. "We have gone through the MCO 1.0 phase in March 2020 and today we have been through it for almost one year. Of course, we have learnt the best way for us to manage the plantations more prudently.
