Malaysia to quit Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil grouping?


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA), which represents the private plantation companies, will decide at its council and exco meeting this Friday whether to quit the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) grouping.

At the same time, the RSPO, fed up with the MPOA stalling on the implementation of measures that would facilitate sustainable planting, has given the Malaysian body an ultimatum to consider its position in the international multi-stakeholder organisation.
