RSPO Wild Asia Malaysia

Bunches of palm fruit on tree on a small family plot in Beluran District, Sabah, Malaysia, on 7 September 2016. Smallholders account for 40% of global palm oil production, and as such play an important role in increasing sustainability within the industry. This family plot has been able to increase yields since becoming part of the Wild Asia Group scheme, which works with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil to support Malaysian smallholders to become certified sustainable. This includes improving farm management, reducing their use of pesticides and fertilizers, and increasing yields.
