THE newly-implemented Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification standard this year has garnered strong support from both domestic palm oil industry players and exporters alike.
Even though MSPO affiliation is currently on a voluntary basis, many Malaysian plantation companies which have obtained other certification – namely the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) – have expressed strong interest in acquiring this national certification for certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO).
