OVERVIEW

The Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC) has recently announced that Malaysia's Sustainable Palm Oil Certification will now be made mandatory by year 2019. The scheme, known as the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO), first launched in 2015, based on the MSPO standards (MS2530:2013 series) provides general principles for the production of sustainable palm oil that covers the 3Ps (People, Planet, Profit) in Malaysia. 

Incentive wise, the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) will part-fund audit fees for mid-sized oil palm estates, so as to be Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certified by 2019.
