INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA TO FIGHT ‘DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PALM OIL’
THE WHAT? Indonesia and Malaysia have signed eight memorandums of understandings aimed at strengthening cooperation between the two palm-oil producing nations and helping to rebuild palm oil’s reputation, according to a report published by Reuters.

THE WHY? The European Union has unveiled plans to phase out palm oil-based fuels by 2030 as a result of the bad press the commodity has received.
