Malaysia’s herbal industry market worth RM29b by 2020 THE local herbal industry is expected to grow at 15 per cent per annum and to be worth RM29 billion by 2020 as its products gain popularity, buoyed by consumers propensity towards a healthier lifestyle, the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) said. Matrade deputy chief executive officer, Datuk Dzulkifli Mahmud, said the herbal industry is a promising industry and Malaysia is well positioned to become a key global player as it is blessed with rich biodiversity, cultural background and trade links.
