Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil | RSPO 283d ago

But this perspective misses a crucial piece of the puzzle: independent farmers or smallholders—who contribute around 40% of the world’s palm oil production. Francisco Naranjo, Director of Technical & Smallholders at RSPO, explains why including smallholders in the palm oil conversation is essential for building a more inclusive and sustainable future.
