Suspended Unilever Palm Oil Suppliers and Growers (With Mill List) Suspended Palm Oil Direct Suppliers or Oil Palm Growers by Unilever Updated September 2020 The list below provides information of previous direct palm oil suppliers or indirect oil palm growers that have been suspended from Unilever’s supply chain due to grievances brought to our attention alleging non-compliance against the Unilever Sustainable Palm Oil Sourcing Policy (“USPOSP”) and/or Unilever’s Responsible Sourcing Policy or due to the fact that it could not be confirmed that these companies were in compliance with the USPOSP at the group level. The list of palm oil mills associated with these companies but were declared by our suppliers in 2019 can be found in the Suspended Palm Oil Mills list of this document. The main purpose of this list is to ensure that Unilever’s direct palm oil suppliers understand Unilever’s palm oil suspension list and that palm oil, palm kernel oil, and their derivatives do not enter Unilever’s supply chain from these companies. We are working with our suppliers to ensure that these companies and mills (at a group level) are not be part of our supply chain unless compliance towards the USPOSP and Responsible Sourcing Policy can be verified or appropriate remediation plans for non-compliance have been agreed and are implemented. A list of grievances that have been raised to Unilever with regard to our palm oil supply chain can be found in Unilever’s Palm Oil Grievance Tracker. Please note that we are not making any accusations of legal wrongdoing but are sharing that we have sight of data that indicates that certain supply sources are not in accordance with the USPOSP. It is our intention to share accurate and credible data. Should there be any reliable data that is in conflict with ours, then we ask that you share it with us, so we can assess and make the appropriate corrections.

However, peat fires here have been found to be a major source of smoke that 17 travels across national boundaries creating regional haze. Despite these regulations, more 18 than a quarter of all Indonesian oil palm plantations are on peat. This paper argues that 19 patronage networks within the Indonesian oil palm sector have been a major factor in the 20 unsustainable use of peatlands there. Rampant patronage politics have made it easy for well- 21 connected companies to skirt regulations to obtain licenses for these lands. Decentralization 22 has further encouraged this practice at the regional level, as regional elites are eager to reap 23 the benefits of local investments. In addition, clients are able to exert their influence over 24 state decision-making to ensure that any changes to the licensing process does not jeopardize 25 their access to these lands.

  • The Case of Malaysian Palm Oil
    Agro-Commodity Global Value Chains and Upgrading: The Case of Malaysian Palm Oil Yee Siong Tong Queens’ College University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2018 Agro-Commodity Global Value Chains and Upgrading: The Case of Malaysian Palm Oil Yee Siong Tong Summary This dissertation consists of three closely related essays on upgrading in agro-commodity value chains, which is an important issue for many developing countries that produce and export commodities in mostly unprocessed form. The essays are based on fieldwork in Malaysia and focus on its palm oil, which is the world’s largest oils and fats product by production and export volumes. The first essay examines the suitability of vertical specialisation for participation and upgrading in agro-commodity value chains based on the case of Malaysian palm oil. It uses data from interviews, site visits, and industry and economic statistics to analyse upgrading at the sector and firm levels. The essay suggests that upgrading is prone to sectoral linkage development and vertical integration at local lead firms. The development is driven by production characteristics, sectoral dynamics, eco-historical settings that are unique to agro-commodity value chains, as well as firm motives seeking resources, markets, efficiency gains, and strategic assets. The second essay studies Malaysia’s industrial policy for its palm oil sector through three distinct stages of development. The findings show that resource-based industrialisation (RBI) requires selective state intervention targeting macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure, business climate, and human capital. The Malaysian experience also highlights the importance of local firms in driving RBI investments, contrary to the emphasis in the literature which either overplays the importance of foreign linkages or dismisses nationality of firms as a non-factor for industrialisation.

  • How a Leading RSPO Palm Oil Producer Is Clearing Peatland Tiger
    How a leading RSPO palm oil producer is clearing peatland tiger habitat covered by Indonesia’s moratorium on deforestation This crime file reveals the ongoing rogue activities of one of Indonesia’s largest palm oil producers, the Darmex Agro group – generally known as ‘Duta Palma’ – whose illegal and destructive operations were first exposed by Greenpeace International in 2007. While some companies in the sector are seizing the initiative and setting an example of zero deforestation development, the activities of rogue operators such as Duta Palma serve as an example of practices that the palm oil industry must put behind it. Other stakeholders, from government to end users, must show that they will no longer tolerate flagrant legal abuse and environmental destruction.

    International Plant Nutrition Institute Regional Office • Southeast Asia Date: March 31, 2016 Page: 1 of 88 New Entries to IPNI Library as References Roberts T. L. 2008. Improving Nutrient Use Efficiency. Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 32:177-182. Reference ID: 21904 Notes: #21904e Abstract: Public interest and awareness of the need for improving nutrient use efficiency is great, but nutrient use efficiency is easily misunderstood. Four indices of nutrient use efficiency are reviewed and an example of different applications of the terminology show that the same data set might be used to calculate a fertilizer N efficiency of 21% or 100%. Fertilizer N recovery efficiencies from researcher managed experiments for major grain crops range from 46% to 65%, compared to on-farm N recovery efficiencies of 20% to 40%. Fertilizer use efficiency can be optimized by fertilizer best management practices that apply nutrients at the right rate, time, and place. The highest nutrient use efficiency always occurs at the lower parts of the yield response curve, where fertilizer inputs are lowest, but effectiveness of fertilizers in increasing crop yields and optimizing farmer profitability should not be sacrificed for the sake of efficiency alone. There must be a balance between optimal nutrient use efficiency and optimal crop productivity. Souza L. F. D.and D. H. Reinhardt. 2015. Pineapple. Pages 179-201 IPO. Reference ID: 21905 Notes: #21905e Abstract: Pineapple is one of the tropical fruits in greatest demand on the international market, with world production in 2004 of 16.1 million mt.
