Kota Kinabalu: Malaysia plans to establish a cold storage air freight hub in Sabah to enhance seafood exports to Greater China, it has been reported.

This initiative is part of the country's strategy to strengthen its logistics sector and position itself as a gateway to the Asean region, the SCMP reported.

The hub will facilitate rapid access to China's market, promoting growth in Sabah's fisheries industry, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke.

“Sabah produces a lot of seafood products, a lot of fisheries which can be exported to China,” Loke was quoted as saying at the Malaysia China Summit in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.

“This is something we are looking at, to upgrade and to develop Kota Kinabalu into a cold chain cargo facility to serve the larger China market.”
