BAGAN DATUK: The Cabinet has agreed to restructure the Malaysian Cocoa Board to include coconuts, said Deputy Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Ahmad Zahid, also the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, said the restructuring would not require additional expenses or new positions.
"This (restructuring) is an approach where we aim to avoid waste, utilising existing resources to harness the benefits of coconuts not only in Bagan Datuk but also across the country, including the west and east coasts as well as Sabah and Sarawak.
"Insya-Allah, we will realise the cooperation of all parties. We should not work in silos when promoting any product, especially those that can generate extra income for rural folk," he said.
