Welcome to CSPO Watch
We make it easy for you to follow developments in palm oil, in particular Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO).
We started tracking consumer goods companies commitments to deforestation free raw materials, including palm oil, in early 2018. As 2020 approaches, it is obvious that many of the pledges made two years ago, will not be met. Members of the Consumer Goods Forum push back their timelines to use certified palm oil. Costs and availability have been the primary excuses used to delay the use of CSPO so what can we expect within these short weeks? The RSPO's new target for consumer goods members to commit towards buying CSPO is a good move that should help boost the credibility of this certification scheme.
The Malaysian industry continues its work to certify all of its palm oil under the Malaysian Sustainable Palm oil (MSPO) scheme with a deadline for December 31st 2019. Will the MSPO create a superior Mass Balance CSPO that could fill manufacturer requirements for availability? What will certified sustainable palm oil look like on the ground in Malaysia?
Trade deals continue to shape the future of the industries in Indonesia and Malaysia but what will it mean for certified palm oil when the biggest importer of palm oil, India, places more weight on pricing than sustainable production? Can European countries justify a ban on palm oil in biofuels when there are no matching criteria for their exports to SE Asian countries?
Will increased use of palm oil for biodiesel in producing countries of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand bring price stability for the small holders?
Going forward into 2020, we will continue to present views and opinions on the different elements and thoughts on what can bring about a globally accepted definition of sustainable palm oil without the " " quotation marks. if you have a topic you would like covered, we would love to hear from you.
