Brazil Is Poised To Become The Global Leader In Sustainable Palm Oil Production
13/11/2010 (Justmeans) - Across the globe, leading producers of Palm oil - particularly those situated in Indonesian and Malaysian - continue to face growing challenges. Producers in these nations frequently struggle to meet global demand targets, while also suffering from land shortages and logistical inefficiency. Moreover, many producers in these, as well as similar nations, continue to face environmental-sustainability challenges; issues, that are systematically reducing the attractiveness of their product in various consumer categories. One growing segment that continues to challenge traditional palm oil producers is the environmentally conscious food segment. As concerns over the impact of environmentally unsustainable palm oil production increase, many traditional producers are seeing demand for certified 'green' - or environmentally sustainable - crude palm oil (CPO) rise significantly. Moreover, despite the fact that sustainable palm oil demand currently accounts for only 3% of the global market, it is expected that demand for this type of product will continue to increase significantly (double digit market share gains) over the next year.
