Thailand National Interpretation Public Consultation: 8 December 2025 – 8 February 2026

The RSPO National Interpretation (NI) draft of the 2024 RSPO Principles and Criteria (P&C) and 2024 RSPO Independent Smallholder (ISH) Standard for Thailand has been developed through a participatory, multi-stakeholder process, involving representatives from relevant RSPO membership sectors and consultations with other related stakeholders in Thailand. The formation of the National Interpretation Task Force (NITF) for Thailand ensures that all required procedures, communications and actions have been properly documented and recorded. This process aims to ensure that the NI accurately reflects the nature of the oil palm industry in Thailand, particularly national legislation and local customs, while maintaining and strengthening the integrity of RSPO Certification requirements.

We are now calling for comments on the Thailand NI 2025 draft through a public consultation period of 60 days, from 8 December 2025 to 8 February 2026. The draft is available in English and Thai, and can be downloaded below.
