KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 (Bernama) — In light of escalating fertiliser prices which can make up 60% of the total palm oil production the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC) wishes to urge growers, regardless of their plantation size, to switch from chemical fertilisers to optimum usage of organic fertilisers.
Besides giving good yield to planters, using organic fertilisers can also help enhance food security, considering safe food production can protect Malaysian consumers from the hazards of diseases brought on by food.
