PALMOILMAGAZINE, BALI – Chief Executive Officer (CEO) RSPO, Joseph D’Cruz or famously caled as JD, said that sustainable palm oil should directly deliver impacts for the social and environment sectors around the plantations. He thought, palm oil business can produce sustainable palm oil in universally principles and criteria.
The members of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) encouraged to get multi-party collaboration with the governments of palm oil producers to escalate independent smallholders’ welfare.
Multi- Stakeholder collaboration would encourage new cooperation and initiatives to solve every issue and conflict that took place in sustainable palm oil supply chain.
The positive from palm oil should be got by the people around the plantations, not only for smallholders that implement sustainable practices.
As the responsibility of RSPO members, sustainable palm oil needs the supports from the governments of producers and needs responsibility from many parties to get their inputs.
“By listening to their inputs, RSPO would have the opportunity and challenges to develop sustainable palm oil,” JD Cruz recently said to Palmoilmagazine.com in Bali.

The other palm oil stakeholders (members) would be in cooperation. “RSPO is looking for the bottle neck to be the challenge in sustainable palm oil development,” he said.
Sustainable palm oil development through jurisdiction approach is taken as he same solution from the bottle neck that happened for all these years. The consent in jurisdiction approach is by involving government’s officers to solve the issues.
Jurisdiction approach can be running with the regional government to develop sustainable certification. The smallholders that cultivate in many regions would also be involved in to get RSPO certificates.
The profits for independent smallholders, JD continued, would be something interesting, such as, they would get increasing fresh fruit bunch production, and also better economy. “The independent smallholders would live better through jurisdiction approach,” JD said. (T1)
