Benchmark MSPO against global standards


Oil palm plantation owners are being asked to set aside 10 of their area for padi cultivation that would contribute to Sabahs food security. (Aug 19)(picture for metro south-east)

I REFER to the report, “Teresa Kok and Shafie Apdal discuss sustainable palm oil and timber industries” (The Star, Sept 20).

It is encouraging to see the new Primary Industries MInister, Teresa Kok, to be very engaged in moving the Malaysian palm oil industry on the road to achieving Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) standards.
