Welcome to CSPO Watch
Check out our new feature page Palm Oil Free launched September 06, 2020. We dive into "palm oil free" and "no palm oil" marketing statements to see exactly what they mean.
Headline news on palm oil development will continue to be featured on our Palm Oil News page.
As we head into 2022, the issues on palm oil have shifted dramatically. Key issues we will be looking at in 2022 will be:
1. With 'due diligence' expected to be legislated by the European Union and the United Kingdom to prevent the importation of commodities associated with deforestation, will national schemes for certified palm oil like the ISPO and MSPO prove to be a better solution?
2. With food security and national economies being targeted by countries from India to Africa, will their national plans for expansion of palm oil and other vegetable oils succeed?
3. With energy hungry but resource poor countries like Japan or the European Union unable to meet clean energy requirements as part of their commitments at COP26, will palm oil in its various forms be accepted as a sustainable source of green energy?
4. 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 importers of palm oil in India and China, places more weight on price than sustainable production?
5. Will European countries especially those in the Union be able to develop a fair certification system for targeted commodities for palm oil, soy, beef, cocoa and coffee etc?
At CSPO Watch, we will continue to present views and opinions on the different issues surrounding sustainable commodities. If you have any thoughts or opinions on the issues, please use the handy Contact Us or email The Editor robert@cspo-watch.com
