Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin said Malaysia hopes to channel various updated information on the palm oil industry, in particular from the health/nutrition and sustainability fronts, to eradicate misconceptions of palm oil and its related products as evident in the widespread anti-palm oil campaigns in the EU.
