Malaysian Palm Oil Board director general Dr Ahmad Parveez Ghulam Khadir.
Petaling jaya: The second cycle of the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO 2.0) certification, which came into effect on Jan 1, will inevitably translate to higher cost for oil palm planters but it will be minimal.
The MSPO 2.0 improves upon the original MSPO 2013 standard by adopting stricter and more comprehensive requirements, aligning with current global standards and expectations for environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices.
