The future of Malaysia’s palm oil industry will depend on ensuring growth does not come at the expense of the country’s biodiversity or the livelihoods of smallholders.

In the Malaysian countryside, the sweet scent of ripening palm fruit fills the air, with vast stretches of emerald fronds extending into the horizon.

Despite occupying just 0.5 percent of the world’s agricultural land, it accounts for 35 percent of global edible oil production, making it the most consumed vegetable oil. Recognising the urgency, Malaysia took significant steps, including a firm commitment to stop clearing new forests for plantations. The country promoted replanting to increase yields, preserve its natural heritage, and prevent further habitat loss.The ability to track the origin of palm oil is crucial for verifying its sustainability claims, building consumer trust, and addressing concerns over deforestation and illegal activities.
