Last month, for the very first time, sales of sustainable palm oil to processors and retailers matched production by certified suppliers.
In January 2010, close to 120,000 tonnes of sustainable palm oil or matching certificates were traded by either UTZ Certified or GreenPalm. About the same volume of sustainable palm oil was produced that same month by RSPO-certified oil mills and their supply base, bringing the market uptake for January to a whopping 98 percent.
