August 1, 2011. Malaysia, the word's No.2 palm oil producer, will come up with a certification scheme to ensure the tropical oil is grown without clearing forests and destroying wildlife. Malaysia joins top palm oil producer Indonesia that is set to issue its own certification for planters next year on growing concerns that the RSPO has been dominated by green groups and sales of eco-friendly palm oil have been slow. Malaysian Palm Oil Council said the Malaysian scheme will emulate the one by Indonesia, which is mandatory and where offenders could be punished by law. The RSPO scheme is voluntary but in recent months it has taken a harder stance on plantations. In April, the RSPO censured Malaysia's No.2 planter IOI Corp for green violations and suspended ongoing plans to certify its estates.
