Worked on a presidential regulation to foster the adoption of the country\'s national ISPO standard, which becamemandatory in 2015, but is estimated to cover only 17 percent of the country\'s total oil palm plantation area.
Notes
In Indonesia, where ISPO certification (Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil) is mandatory since 2015, the latest available estimate puts certification at 17 percent of total plantation area. Reportedly, to raise the level of certification, the Government is working on a presidential regulation to strengthen supervision mechanisms and improve coordination between concerned government agencies.
