Certification route to EUDR compliance


Malaysian Palm Oil Association CEO Joseph Tek Choon Yee.

PETALING JAYA: Big and mid-sized planters, which are armed with multiple certified sustainable palm oil certifications, could likely secure a better export entry for their palm oil products under the new European Union Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR) slated to be enforced by January 2025, say industry players.

From a business-to-business context, Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) chief executive Joseph Tek Choon Yee said several of its members have already fulfilled the requirements of their EU clientele and some have even surpassed the requirement by holding multiple certifications.
