INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA TO FIGHT ‘DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PALM OIL’
THE WHAT? Indonesia and Malaysia have signed eight memorandums of understandings aimed at strengthening cooperation between the two palm-oil producing nations and helping to rebuild palm oil’s reputation, according to a report published by Reuters.
