We export processed foods. We do not export unprocessed foods. Palm oil is not food. Fruits does not count as it is seasonal.

Good example is rice. Local rice is not enough if we did not import from Thailand, Vietnam & India. Crazy isn't it?

We even import bananas which is not seasonal. Coconuts isn't suitable to be primary food. And it is also expensive here.

We do have a lot of sugar. And it shows with the high amount of diabetics in the country. Even then it is slowly replaced with synthetic sugar as it is cheaper.

When i was 2" i remember reading we have enough rice, cocoa, rubber and palm oil. Rubber and cocoa is gone. Rice is not enough to be exported anymore. Palm is only for money and not for the people.

That guy above you doesn't know that is is mostly used as a filler, replacement ingredient or cooking in foods. But it is not palatable or consumable by itself.
