Empowering independent palm oil smallholders

By focusing on ISHs at the core of its sustainability efforts, the P&G Smallholder Program has gradually established an inclusive ecosystem that yields measurable outcomes aligned with global ESG priorities.

AS THE world’s second-largest producer of palm oil, Malaysia has over 275,000 independent smallholder farmers that contribute toward the industry.

However, unlike organised smallholders, these independent farmers manage smaller plots of land and have limited access to knowledge, technology and guidance.
