🌏 In the first half of 2024, trade between China and ASEAN soared to a whopping 3.36 trillion yuan ($463 billion), marking a 10.5% jump compared to last year! 📈 Among the key commodities fueling this growth is palm oil, with Malaysia shining as China's second-largest supplier, just after Indonesia. 🥥🌿
But it's not just about trade numbers—it's about going green! 💚 At the recent Malaysia-China Green Value Chain Partnership roundtable, CGTN's Emma Ho caught up with industry leaders and government officials. They spilled the tea ☕ on how the palm oil trade is not only boosting economies but also paving the way for sustainable development. 🌳✨
From adopting eco-friendly farming techniques to ensuring responsible sourcing, both countries are teaming up to make a positive impact on the environment. 🌍🤝 It's a win-win for nature and business! 🎉
So, next time you use a product with palm oil, remember the green journey it's part of—a collaboration between Malaysia and China that's making waves in sustainability! 🌊🌟
