Oleopalma is setting the standard for palm oil production in Mexico as the first company in the country to receive Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification.

Ecuador's Alcopalma is increasing the amount added-value palm oil with organic and RSPO certifications - but there are "big opportunities" for conventional palm oil in Latin America, says the CEO.
