Sabah’s fishery industry which exports particularly groupers to Hong Kong has been affected to a certain extent by the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, said State Agriculture and Food Industry Minister Datuk Junz Wong.
However, the impact on agriculture-based products is not as serious as Sabah is yet to have dealings with China on such products.
“The rest [agriculture-based products] is not that badly affected because we have not been dealing a lot with China yet, as so far we are just in the planning stage to move in [to the China market],” he said.
Wong was speaking to reporters at his Ministry’s Chinese New Year celebration and launch of its new website at Wisma Pertanian, Kota Kinabalu, Thursday.
