RSPO AMANAH INDONESIA

A group of smallholder palm oil farmers plant shrubs part of an integrated pest managment policy that helps them reduce pesticide use on their plantations in Ukui, Riau Province, Indonesia, on 15 June 2015. Certain flowers attract insects that prey on pests that damage the crops. This area has become dominated by palm oil production, and some smallholder farmers have formed co-operatives to share costs, increase access to markets, and become certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. He is part of Amanah, a local cooperative that has helped over 400 farmers become RSPO certified - reducing their use of pesticides and fertilizers, increasing yields, and improving farm management.
