KUALA LUMPUR: There will be no new land clearing or deforestation for oil palm plantations, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

He said the government was committed to maintaining the status quo of current land use for the purpose of oil palm plantations.“If there are, such lands are privately owned. And they didn’t clear the forests; instead, on their own land, they replaced old crops with new ones,” he told the reporters after the Global Business Forum 2023 here yesterday.

Fadillah, who is Plantation and Commodities Minister, said that external parties must engage local players before imposing a set of standards on the plantation sector. Fadillah also said that the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil was on par with the Europe-based Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil scheme.

Recently, Reuters reported that the US authorities said palm oil products made by Sime Darby Plantation were no longer produced with forced labour, hinting that the two-year import ban on the Malaysian firm would soon be lifted.
