JOHOR BAHRU: The Malaysian Pineapple Industry Board (LPNM) has announced that the pineapple cultivation and production area in Sarawak now stands at 2,450 hectares. LPNM chairman Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali said that to realise the Sarawak government’s target of expanding pineapple plantations to 20,000 hectares by 2030, comprehensive cooperation from various parties was required.
“LPNM will continue to support and contribute in any way we can to help achieve this goal. We need to establish annual growth projections that must be met to expand pineapple cultivation,” he said at a press conference after the signing of the Kenyalang Pineapple Sarawak Project agreement between JG Sarava Sdn Bhd and Mate Clove Sdn Bhd at the LPNM headquarters, here today.
