The European Palm Oil Alliance published a position paper backing EU-wide regulatory measures to make deforestation-free palm oil the norm in Europe. It notes that 83% of palm oil imported for food by European refiners in 2018 was certified sustainable.
The group calls for due-diligence obligations applied equally to all vegetable oils.
Industry support for mandatory due diligence suggests EU palm oil import rules are likely to advance. Stricter rules could shift vegetable oil sourcing and affect palm oil and competing oil prices over time.
