: The plantation sector has been urged not to cut down new forests for oil palm cultivation but instead to improve the use of technology to increase production and income.
Johari said plantation is one of the biggest sectors that contribute to the country’s economy and the prime minister wants to see this sector fulfill several aspects including increasing the use of technology. “The prime minister also emphasised how important it is that if there are start-up companies that introduce their technology that has been successful, we want to make sure that they can sell that technology to players in the plantation industry,” he said.
He said the use of technology applied by SDP successfully expanded the scope of work on the plantation to 12.5 hectares per worker compared to eight hectares per worker before.
