KOTA KINABALU, March 5 — Sabah is the country’s main producer of cocoa beans, accounting for 57 per cent of the 3,444 hectares under cocoa cultivation in Malaysia, said Deputy Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Siti Aminah Aching.
“The potential for cocoa cultivation in this state can be further promoted and developed. Therefore, encouragement needs to be given to growers through research assistance and advisory services to enable the farmers to continue to improve the quality of their cocoa bean,” she said in a statement here today.
According to her, this year, the Malaysian Cocoa Board will implement the New Planting Project with a target of 200 hectares throughout the country and of that figure, 100 hectares will be in Sabah, 80 hectares in Sarawak and the remaining 20 hectares in the peninsula.
