MSPO certification at final stage of revision, to be ready soon

“As palm oil is used widely in the form of cooking oil, processed food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, the need for this golden crop has never been higher and is projected to increase, so does the demand for it to be sustainably produced,” director-general Ahmad Parveez Ghulam Kadir (pic) told Bernama.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification is currently at the final stage of revision and is expected to be ready by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
