Darwin said buyers from Malaysia really care about CCO from North Sulawesi because they are considered qualified and in accordance with international standards.

The government hopes that exporters from North Sulawesi will maintain the quality and quantity of products in accordance with the initial agreement when they arrive at the destination country.

He hopes that by 2023, demand for CCO from Malaysia will increase.

"We hope that in 2023 North Sulawesi's export performance, especially coconut derivative products, will increase, so that it can boost the regional and national economy," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, April 25.

He said there was still a lot to work on from coconut derivative products.
