MPOC to support efforts of smallholders

" The EU must provide an exemption for smallholders under the EUDR and offer a guarantee that Malaysia will not be designated as a high-risk jurisdiction for deforestation,” Belvinder said.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) will continue to demand changes to the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

MPOC chief executive officer Belvinder Kaur Sron said the MPOC would support the efforts of Malaysia’s smallholders to defend their families and communities.
