概要
Asia consumes 60% of palm oil globally, and it is therefore crucial that there is an increase in the uptake of sustainable palm oil. Palm oil production doesn’t have to be destructive and it can be produced responsibly as a part of sustainable development that accrues positive socio-economic impacts. This report aims to elucidate the business case for sustainable palm oil in Asia and to persuade industry players to switch over to sustainable practices. The report fills the knowledge gap about information on the additional premium paid for CSPO, certified sustainable palm kernel oil (CSPKO), and associated fractions and derivatives in the different RSPO supply chains.
