Palm Oil News - EU: German Should not Import Palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia

German Development Minister Gerd Müller called for banning palm oil imports produced unsustainably, tying this to the EU free trade talks with Indonesia and Malaysia. Amnesty International also reported labour abuses at multinational palm oil suppliers.

WHY IT MATTERS

Proposed import restrictions and trade-agreement conditions on palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia could reduce EU demand for their exports. The proposal is a political call without enacted policy.
