MPOC: Palm oil industry can lead in sustainable agriculture practice


Datuk Carl Bek-Nielsen

KUALA LUMPUR: The palm oil industry has the potential to lead in sustainable agricultural practices, said Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) chairman Datuk Carl Bek-Nielsen.

He said that oil palm is the preferred choice for producing more output with less land used compared to other edible oils, and if palm oil were to be substituted with an alternative, a larger amount of land would be needed to meet the same level of production or supply.
