Kota Kinabalu: More Sabah goods will be able to penetrate the China market, said POIC Sabah Sdn Bhd Chairman Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee.
He said this was possible with a recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the CAIQTest Innovation (Malaysia) Service Centre (CAIQTest).
The centre, Yong said, would lead to the setting up of a food testing and certification centre in Lahad Datu, where POIC Sabah is developing a regional processing and logistics hub.

“It also seeks the formalisation of procedures easing the certification of products aimed for the huge China market, including agro-based, aqua-based, edible oil, bird’s nests and downstream food products.
