Description
Announced a review of the country\'s government-backed standard for sustainable palm oil production.

The countrys MSPO standard will be reviewed next year to strengthen it and bring it more in line with globally accepted norms, the Malaysian Palm Oil Certification Council said. Reportedly, new developments concerning greenhouse gas emissions and carbon savings warrant such review.
