MPOB: More than 90% of independent smallholders to be MSPO-certified end-2025

Quick Summary:

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) is targeting more than 90 per cent of independent smallholders (ISH) to achieve Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification by the end of next year.

Many western countries including the EU have laws against buying palm oil linked to environmental issues like deforestation and wildlife destruction.

Commodities and Plantations Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said RM50 million of the RM65 million will be used for MSPO certification; RM15 million will go towards countering anti-palm oil campaigns.
