GROWTH IN POPULATION Ever Growing World Population Results in More Mouths to Feed Future of palm oil is driven by growth in demand for food, oleo chemicals and biofuel due to population and economic growth The world population is projected to grow from 7 billion in 2011 to 9 billion by 2043, an increase of 29 percent. Food production must meet this rate of increase.

MEETING FUTURE PALM OIL DEMAND The world's current demand for oils and fats is being met by 17 major sources. Production of oils and fats totalled 200.24 million MT in 2014 out of which palm oil and soybean production were 59 million tonnes and 45 million MT respectively, thus together accounting for more than 50% of the total Production of palm oil has grown faster than that of any other oil or fat and overtook soybean as the most produced oil in 2005

Food Trends In Poland The public in Poland are now attaching increasing importance to a healthy lifestyle, looking for less processed food. Traditional Polish cuisine is prepared in a healthier way than ever before. This trend affects oils and fats, exemplified by the growing demand for natural products with health and wellness-related properties Consumers are seeking for ways to lower cholesterol through consumption of spreadable oils and fats with plant sterols and stanols, reducing cardiovascular risk.
PALM OIL S ROLE IN FOOD SECURITY
WORLD ARABLE & PERMANENT CROP LAND PER CAPITA Source : FAOSTATS Per capita crop land has declined since 1960 thus more pressure on farms to increase yields

THE GROWING MIDDLE CLASS A REAL CONCERN There is a concern about the growing middle class in the world which is expected to reach 2.9 billion by 2030 attributed by Europe, China and the USA This growing middle class will fuel demand for food as increasing affluence will change dietary habits Demand for protein and meat will increase and food production will have to increase by as much as 250 million MT to 470 million MT FAO predicts that the food production must increase by 37% to meet this demand Land will inevitably be a shrinking resource as the current rate of 4.5 persons / hectare will increase to 6.5 persons /hectare
A VOTE FOR FOOD SECURITY The UN estimated that the world will need at least 50% more food by 2030 The NGOs claim that global food production can be met by simply by improving crop yields and productivity but there are limits to this such as soil degradation The Rio+20 Conference recorded strong vote for the rights of developing nations to expand their agricultural sector on a sustainable basis

BIODIESEL OUTPUT FROM VARIOUS FEEDSTOCKS Source : Fulton, et.al
Source: USDA FAS 1. Increasing biodiesel consumption mandates in Brazil and Argentina along with robust European demand continues to divert South American soybean oil into the fuel market. 2. While the United States has seen some gain in soybean oil exports as a result of the limited South American supply, most of the offset has been in larger global exports of palm oil. 3. Further growth in biodiesel production is expected as capacity expands in response to additional consumption mandates
ASSURING SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY OF PALM OIL INTO THE FUTURE BY MALAYSIA THE PRODUCTION OF SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL Consumer demand for palm oil and require it not only to be safe and high quality but also sustainable The EU demand for CSPO will be fully met as there are ample supply of CSPO Customers are always right to this end Malaysia will meet and supply what the customers want

MALAYSIAN SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL (MSPO) The Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) standard is being tested by the industry before its implementation by the end of this year MSPO was developed to address the grouses of mid-range and smallholder oil palm cultivators who face difficulty complying with the principles and standards of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification due to exorbitant charges, conflicting views of inspectors and changing criteria A pilot run for seven palm oil mills and seven estates have been completed. 20% of the local palm oil industry adheres to the voluntary RSPO certification
CONSERVATION EFFORTS OF MALAYSIAN PALM OIL INDUSTRY Malaysian Palm Oil Wildlife Conservation Fund (MPOWCF) Launched in 2006 RM 20,000,000:- RM 10m from Malaysian palm oil industry RM 10m as grant from Malaysian government MPOWCF welcomes donations & grants Matches third party funding on a 1:1 basis

CONCLUSIONS Palm oil will continue to be a major source of oils & fats that is required to meet global food security demands Oil palm cultivation is shown to require less land to produce each unit equivalent of edible oil When arable land is limited, it makes sense to choose palm cultivation over other oilseeds given the higher yields from oil palm Higher yield projections increasing stepwise from 4MT/ha to almost 12MT/ha will make palm the oilseed crop of choice in many countries aspiring for greater food (oils) security
CONCLUSIONS (con't)) Sustainability is not an issue for Malaysian palm oil, but made an issue by the western environmental NGOs In terms of unit of input per unit of output, oil palm also requires significantly less fertilizers, pesticides and fuel per unit produced than rapeseed and soybean, in the end delivering over three times more oil per unit of input Apart from use in food, tocotrienols (a type of vitamin E) is found in abundance in palm oil which is used, among others, by the high end cosmetics manufacturers such as Crabtree & Evelyn as an active ingredient to increase sunscreen efficiency by reducing UV ray penetration which can cause cellular ageing
CONCLUSIONS (con't)) Palm oil is a major revenue earner for Malaysia and it can be the same for the developing countries Palm Oil will assist the developing countries to promote poverty eradication and improve income for small holders and uplift the economy of developing nations Palm oil production respects and adopts the 3Ps principles of sustainability People, Planet and Profit.
