Ø  For every USD spend on PKC, the energy value is 52.7 MJ which is 29.5%-­‐108% higher than that of soya, rapeseed and sunflower meal. Ø  For crude protein, PKC has 22.1%-­‐33% lower protein content compared to rapeseed and sunflower meal Ø  However, the crude protein content that can be obtained per USD is the same for soyameal and PKC. Ø  PKC crude fibre content is high at 17%. Ø  The high crude fibre content is said to be more suitable for ruminants than non-­‐ruminants.

3. Malaysia s own sustainability system (MSPO) •  Standards for MSPO by SIRIM/ MPOB are ready and RSPO can be launched soon •  May be useful to establish MPOCC (CerFficaFon Council) to implement the MSPO cerFficaFon process •  What are the opportuniFes?

SYSTEM Interna3onal FOOD BIOFUELS Roundtable on RSPO RED Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) ISCC PLUS PO Manifesto? Interna3onal Sustainability & Carbon Cer3fica3on System (ISCC) Na3onal (Indonesia) Indonesian ISPO Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) WHICH CERTIFICATION SYSTEMS SHALL MALAYSIA FOLLOW? Type of system Systems used Comments Interna3onal 1) Use RSPO cer3fica3on if sell for 1) Extra cost involved as pay food for 2 cer3fica3on systems 2) Use ISCC cer3fica3on if sell for 2) May need other biofuel cer3fica3on schemes 3) Some companies cer3fy using both approved by EPA if wish systems if they sell both food and to enter US market biofuel Na3onal ISPO 1) Indonesia s na3onal system. 1.  Malaysia: continues to use international systems
2.  These systems do not cater for needs of Malaysian palm oil industry
3.  Come up with Malaysia s own system which must solve some of the
complexities of RSPO & ISCC especially to be inclusive of independent
smallholders, less laborious and cheaper
MALAYSIAN SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL (MSPO) •  Na3onal Standard or Malaysian Standard •  MS 2530-­‐1Part 1: General principles for Malaysian sustainable palm oil •  Part 2: General principles for independent smallholders •  Part 3: General principles for oil palm planta3ons and organised smallholders •  Part 4: General principles for palm oil mills Will be voluntary scheme Cer3fica3on needed MSPO++ as a Branding Plauorm Ø  Sustainability is no longer an op3on but a necessity for Malaysian palm oil. (based on Survey results) Ø  For MSPO to represent Malaysian Palm Oil, it must be applied to all Malaysian palm oil Ø  We propose sustainability is men3oned in terms and condi3ons of licenses of all license holders just like in the EU so that all operators are deemed to cross comply to operate responsibly and sustainably, indirectly making sustainability mandatory
CriFcal Issues Ø  MSPO as currently proposed may s3ll be burdensome for industry to implement; a simpler and cheaper way is needed for maximum par3cipa3on Ø  Cross compliance and aggregate compliance approaches (MSPO++), like they do in the EU, USA and Canada for their oilseed crops and oils may need to be used at a later stage a>er the launch of MSPO Ø  For other oilseed crops and cafle, they are far behind in sustainability capability, yet they design schemes to overcome their problems. Ø  For example, we can define sustainability at a na3onal level by having more than 35% forest and using less than 35% of land for agriculture. Ø  The 35:35 criterion for sustainability can be easily achieved by Malaysia, Indonesia and other tropical developing countries but not by most developed countries. Ø  In reality, sustainability is a macro measure and not a micro issue 4. MSPO++ system 1.  35:35 Principle: Oil palm is grown in a country that complies to this Principle. 35:35 principle states that a country is deemed sustainable if it maintains a minimum 35% land mass under forest and use of land for agriculture does not exceed 35% 2.  First plus: licensees must operate responsibly to ensure sustainability . Cross compliance to licensing terms for all. 5.  Second plus: Aggregate compliance for those no longer involved in deforestaFon while abiding to laws and good pracFces. MSPO++ system •  Company that is already cerFfied under other sustainability schemes •  Admifed into MSPO++ through cross compliance approach a)  Apply to Malaysian Palm Oil Cer3fica3on Council (MPOCC). the new cer3fica3on body/organiza3on that needs to be set up b)  Provide evidence that the company opera3ons is currently cer3fied under one or more of MPOCC recognized sustainability schemes , namely MSPO, RSPO, ISCC and/or ISPO MSPO++ system •  Company that is not yet cerFfied under other sustainability schemes Category 1: company with land that is already planted with oil palm, no longer involved in deforesta3on (define cut-­‐off year) Category 2: company with land that is being/will be planted for first 3me with oil palm, including on peat. MPOCC will admit these Category 1 companies, into MSPO++ cer3fica3on through Aggregate Compliance Approach as they are no longer involved in deforesta3on. They will be judged to see if they also comply to legal and good agricultural prac3ce elements. MSPO++ system 4.  Statutory compliance: Company must comply to all laws of country during conduct of business 5.  Good agricultural and management pracFces: Company uses good agricultural & management prac3ces during produc3on process MPOCC to issue cerFficaFon and recognise cerFficaFon schemes such as RSPO, ISCC, MSPO, ISPO etc Those operaFng using any of the recognised schemes , cross comply and those falling under the aggregate compliance can be issued cerFficates of compliance (95 % of all players) Remaining (5%?) Category 2. involved in new planFng must comply to licensing condiFon (sustainable and responsible) and can choose to be cerFfied by any of the recognized cerFficaFon schemes eg MSPO or RSPO UFlizaFon of World s Agricultural Land Other crops, 23.17% Oilseeds, 5.25% Oil Palm, 0.29% Livestock, 71.27% Total area: 4.911 bil ha
Source: FAO (2011), Oil World, MPOB (2012) Livestock industry uses the most land and therefore is the main driver for global
deforestation. Oil palm has been made a scapegoat
MSPO++ system No deforestaFon: Applies to companies that are plan3ng oil palm on land for first 3me at 3me of applica3on. Such companies have to undergo a sustainability cer3fica3on. Free to choose any cer3fica3on system recognized by MPOCC. PlanFng on peat: Applies to companies that are plan3ng oil palm on peat land for first 3me at 3me of applica3on. Such companies have to undergo a sustainability cer3fica3on. Free to choose any cer3fica3on system recognized by MPOCC. 5. MSPO++ as a Branding Plauorm Ø  As for Branding of Malaysian palm oil, the proposed brand tag line is Malaysia Palm Oil, Responsibly Farmed . Ø  Responsibly Farmed is claimable based on the licensing infrastructure of the Malaysian palm oil industry. Ø  Sustainable claim is tricky as sustainability is subject to different defini3ons in the EU. This issue must be carefully analyzed going forward. BRAND LOGO Once Branding Scheme
launched, responsibly
produced Malaysia
Palm Oil
will be given a
Brand name and logo
6. CONCLUSIONS
•  CPO price has retreated from its high. Long term, prices have been remunera3ve •  MPOC con3nues to look for opportuni3es to boost palm oil trade •  Some examples of MPOC facilita3ng the capitaliza3on of such opportuni3es to strengthen markets, find newer markets and tapping on new opportuni3es are shown •  Need to have an overarching system such that all Malaysian Palm Oil can be claimed to be sustainably or responsibly produced •  MSPO is ready to be launched and MSPO++ can be added subsequently •  MSPO++ can fast-­‐track 100% cer3fica3on of Malaysian palm oil, and Branding of Malaysian palm oil will have a strong unified plaiorm for brand support. •  Branding can facilitate trade and afract a premium of Malaysian palm oil THANK YOU
