The MPOC supports the development of the RSPO as a business-to-business initiative to certify palm oil in meeting the demands of a discerning market. Our industry can be proud to be the first to bring RSPO-certified palm oil to the world market.

The MPOC has provided funds to industry associations to attend or hold RSPO meetings to ensure the roundtable moves forward. As sustainable palm oil is already being traded in the global market, in our marketing campaigns, we often offer RSPO-certified palm oil to buyers.

Unfortunately, although the industry has lived up to its side of the bargain in conforming to sustainability requirements, its ‘green’ credentials have yet to excite more buyers.THE END
