Kota Kinabalu: Sabah on Monday relaxed the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the agriculture sector by, among others, allowing 80 per cent workforce capacity, effective July 12.
Previously, only 60 per cent workforce capacity was allowed for the sector.
The latest SOPs for the agriculture sector apply to rubber, cocoa and oil palm plantations, livestock, agriculture/crops, industry and agro-based manufacturing including rubber, cocoa and oil palm.
