MSPO certification essential to ensure long-term future of palm oil

Malaysia exported 3.7 million tonnes of palm oil produce to Europe in 2017. This represented 12% of the global palm oil export in that year.

CPOPC is an inter-governmental organisation for palm oil-producing countries that was established in 2015. Among members of CPOPC are Malaysia and Indonesia. EU Parliament had accused Malaysia and Indonesia of destroying the forests and neglecting the environment for palm oil plantation. To counter this grave allegation, the Malaysian government had prepared a number of plans to create informed awareness among the anti-palm oil community.Working together with state governments to replant trees and also to limit the hectarage of planting oil palm to 6.5 million hectares only.

MSPO is based on seven principles, which are management commitment and responsibility; transparency, compliance to legal requirements; social responsibility; health, safety and employment conditions; environment, natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystem; best practices; and development of new planting.

In order to achieve the target of 100% MSPO certified palm oil planters, the government should create more awareness for smallholder to register and get MSPO certification. They can collaborate with village heads and district officers to disseminate information about MSPO certification in their area.
