So why is it that palm oil is often misunderstood? To clear the air, I have written down my personal thoughts in the hope that more and more people will recognise the untiring efforts made by the Malaysian palm oil industry to improve our natural habitats, our environment and our own health.
They may see why I am passionate about palm oil – and why I wish to share this passion with NGOs. Working together, we can share a common vision that commits to sustainable practices today, for the generations of people to come tomorrow, on a healthier, livelier and greener earth – the planet we call home.
The CEO’s blog is part of the initiative to convey the merits of palm oil factually. I hope you enjoy it.

EXCELLENT PUBLICATION SPOILED BY INACCURATE DATA
I picked up a copy of “Fact Sheets: Malaysian Palm Oil” at the recent World Halal Forum, and I agree with most of it’s content.
However, you are not helping your cause by publishing RIDICULOUS DATA FROM F.A.O.
Much of the data on page 47 is suspect, but the Nitrogen Input figures are TOTAL NONSENSE. Soybean is claimed to have a N.I. 300% more than other crops. Soybean is a legume, and does not require, or respond to, high nitrogen inputs. Sunflowers, and especially Rape, do respond to high N.I.s
I am a professional Agriculturist working localy, and I am basicaly on your side.
