Agriculture is the most important sector in Sabah.
However, Sabah's palm oil industry is mostly restricted to 'upstream' cultivation and crushing of the fruit to form crude oil. Sabah sees an opportunity for investment in more 'downstream' industries processing the crude oil into finished products. There are similiar investment opportunities for cocoa processing, most of which is currently undertaken outside of Sabah. With over 1,400km of coastline, aquaculture is also becoming an important growth sector. Again, Sabah would like to see investment into 'downstream' industries such as fish and prawn processing.
