<\/a><\/p>\nIts chairman Eric Kiu said such regulations are meant to restrict or prohibit the import of palm oil to the EU if the supply chain does not meet their open-ended criteria.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn retrospect, Western countries have organized countless smear campaigns against palm oil \u2014 back in the 80s, palm oil was accused of having the potential to cause cardiovascular disease linked to trans fatty acids.<\/p>\n
\u201cSubsequent scientific findings proved that not only does palm oil not contain trans fatty acids, it is a better substitute to other cooking oils such as soybean, corn, sunflower and safflower, which degrade faster at higher cooking temperatures during frying and baking,\u201d he said in a statement on Friday, 21 April 2023.<\/p>\n
Kiu said that due to its semi-solid nature, palm oil can be incorporated into foods without the need for hydrogenation \u2014 a process involving chemical reactions to make liquid vegetable oils to become more solid or spreadable.<\/p>\n
He added that palm oil is also one of the most abundant natural sources of vitamin E, containing 30 per cent tocopherols and 70 percent tocotrienols, and carotenoids.<\/p>\n
\u201cVitamin E is an important antioxidant. Diets high in vitamin E are associated with decreased risk of some types of cancer, heart disease, and age-related macular degeneration.<\/p>\n
\u201cCarotenoids, which are the pre-cursor of vitamin A, are essential for growth, immune system function, and eye health,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Despite all the scientific evidences showing palm oil is trans\u00a0fat-free and healthy, Kiu regretted that palm oil continued to be demonized by much misinformation.<\/p>\n
He said the past decade had witnessed the anti-palm oil sentiments focused on the concern over the deforestation and wildlife killing.<\/p>\n
On contrary to the accusation, he said palm oil in Malaysia was planted on legitimate agricultural land which are\u00a0mostly previously cultivated agricultural land, degraded forest areas rezoned for agriculture, and land under the land use policy of the state.<\/p>\n
In the context of conservation, he said the government had decided to cap the country\u2019s oil palm plantations at 6.5 million hectare by 2023 in a move to dispel the claim that the expansion of oil palm plantations had led to deforestation.<\/p>\n
Currently, Malaysia still has 56 percent of forested areas across the country, while other part of the world is facing forest degradation due to development, he noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Malaysian palm oil industry is one of the most highly regulated with legislation and regulations in place to ensure that it adheres to domestic and international standards.<\/p>\n
\u201cNumerous efforts are in place for conservation and green initiatives. For example, the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities (KPK) has set up the Malaysian Palm Oil Green Conservation Fund focusing on activities such as forest tree replanting, minimizing human-animal conflict and biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdditionally, the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Certification Scheme, made mandatory from Jan 1, 2020, has enhanced the value of Malaysian palm oil by minimizing the carbon footprint of the industry by promoting sustainable business, environmental, and wildlife practices among Malaysian palm oil producers that cover oil palm plantations, independent and organized smallholdings, and palm oil processing facilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to Kiu, the oil palm tree is the most efficient oil crop in terms of land use, with the highest yield compared to other oil crops per hectare of land.<\/p>\n
Among major oilseed crops, he said oil palm accounted for the smallest percentage (under six percent) of all the cultivated land for oils and fats globally, but produced the largest percentage (about 40 percent) of total output.<\/p>\n
In simple terms, he said it used less than half the land required by other crops (such as sunflower, soybean or rapeseed oil) to produce the same amount of oil.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor comparison, oil produces from per hectare of land for oil palm is 3.8 mt, rapeseed is 0.8 mt, sunflower is 0.7 mt, and soy is 0.5 mt,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kiu further pointed out that palm oil was in nearly everything;\u00a0close to 50 percent of the packaged products find in grocery stores.<\/p>\n
He said this was because palm oil had diverse functional properties.<\/p>\n
For food, Kiu said palm oil was good at keeping spreadable since it was semi-solid at room temperature, stable at high temperatures and is odorless and colorless so it will not affect the look or smell of food products.<\/p>\n
For non-food applications, he said palm oil was in beauty products such as shampoo, lipstick and soap to name a few since its methyl esters, commonly known as palm biodiesel, was a clean burning renewal fuel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe applications of palm oil has grown significantly over times, and quickly shows\u00a0signs\u00a0of replacing the oilseeds grown in the EU. In addition, price competitiveness of palm oil has added advantage over other oils.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has triggered their nerves and caused serious concern as they are losing domestic market share to palm oil. To the EU, import ban on palm oil is a quick fix,\u201d he opined.<\/p>\n
According to Kiu, the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) data indicates that the EU accounts for 9.4 percent of Malaysia\u2019s export volume last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt fell from the previous year to 1.47 mil mt, and a 40 percent plunge from 2.43 mil mt in 2015. With the new regulation, the export of palm oil to the EU will be further reduced in years to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe implications of such ban extend far beyond conservation or wildlife will jeopardize millions of smallholders farmers who depend on palm oil for their livelihood, increase the price of consumables as they are manufactured using more expensive edible oil compares to palm oil, and is hugely detrimental to promote discrimination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He observed that the Malaysian government has\u00a0been diplomatic in addressing the unjust EU\u2019s deforestation regulation that aimed to protect their domestic market.<\/p>\n
He said Soppoa would extend its full support to Deputy Prime Minister Dato Sri Fadillah Yusof\u00a0during this challenging time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe strongly believe the forthcoming decision made by the minister serves the best interest of the Malaysian palm oil industry, and\u00a0we urge all Malaysian palm oil producers to rally behind the Minister,\u201d Kiu added. (*)<\/p>\n
