The inclusive palm oil industry, with its significant economic potential, is integral to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. An organization called the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) employs a 3P policy – People, Planet, and Profit – in the cultivation of certified sustainable palm oil to reduce deforestation.
Production of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) has historically increased since 2008. However, there was a production decline of 5.7% in 2016 and 4.4% in 2017. By September 2019, RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil production reached a high of 14.6 million tons, or 19% of global palm oil production, covering 2.9 million hectares of land.
Recent data indicates that Indonesia contributes 56% of global CSPO production, amounting to 8.2 million tons, with 2,907,966 hectares of certified land. Malaysia and Thailand are also considered major palm oil producers under the RSPO scheme, focusing on maximizing palm oil production while preserving and protecting the environment.
