Don’t use No Palm Oil labels, Belgium urged

PETALING JAYA: The National Association of Smallholders (Nash) wants Belgium to stop the illegal No Palm Oil labels in that country which directly harm small farmers in the developing world, including in Malaysia.

Nash secretary-general Zulkifli Mohd Nazim said the association was disturbed by the Belgium government’s silence on the issue, although its Deputy Prime Minister Didier Reynders had said his country does not impose any restrictions on Malaysian palm oil imports as production of the commodity is sustainable.
