Malaysian small farmers now RSPO Certified

Malaysian small farmers, also known as smallholders, can now be independently certified under the RSPO Certification System. Wild Asia, together with our partners, have worked to get the first Malaysian group certified. The groups certificate was officially released on 6th September 2013.

This group is the first of its kind in Malaysia and the model that Wild Asia has developed is designed to be adaptable to different supply chains around the world. Wild Asia is actively testing out this model across Malaysia and is looking at ways to take this to new producing countries, such as Africa and Thailand where small farmers are a big part of the supply chain .

    This is a breakthrough for Malaysian palm oil industry. Its a big challenge to get independent smallholders to participate in any form of certification. The glide path towards a nation producing certified palm oil is definitely much clearer and this will certainly motivate other farmers to participate.
    I understand this project is initiated by MPOB and Wild Asia, but funded by Johnson & Johnson. What is the total cost for this certification (individual and cluster), and how long did this process take? Can you share the model which has led to this success?

    Thank You for your time

    Regards,
    Muhilan
