Sustainability is the way forward for palm oil


“Producers who live up to the RSPO will be able to produce more with less, so to say, as the best agricultural practices will eventually trickle, down resulting in higher yields and lowering the greenhouse gas emissions footprint, ” Bek-Nielsen, who is also the co-chair of the RSPO said.

KRABI: The adherence to sustainability by palm oil-producing countries is the only way forward for the industry to play its part in tackling climate change, according to United Plantations Bhd chief executive director, Datuk Carl Bek-Nielsen.

Whether it is the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the Malaysia Sustainable Palm Oil or Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil certification, countries and growers should move towards sustainability, as its impact has proven to be positive across the board, he added.
