Oil palm growers fail to block adoption of new RSPO principles


KUALA LUMPUR: As expected, the oil palm grower members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) have failed in their attempt to block the adoption of the newly revised RSPO principles and criteria (P&C) for the production of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) at the grouping’s extraordinary general assembly (EGA) here yesterday.

At the EGA, some 210 multi-stakeholders of the RSPO passed the resolution for the adoption of the new P&C, with six members opposing and three spoilt votes.
