KUALA LUMPUR: Amidst the continued allegations premised on the sustainability of the palm oil industry arising mostly from nationalistic sentiment to protect their edible oils industry, palm oil producers acknowledged that the sustainability issue cannot be ignored and they have to level up their game for the longer term.
But while most agreed to the notion, some believed that instead of addressing the issues in the west where the “noise” came from, the palm oil industry should just focus on its neighbouring market – China and India.
