ABOUT
\n200 delegates converged recently in Accra for Africa\u2019s Third Sustainable Palm
\nOil Conference, hosted by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and
\nProforest, to discuss the urgent need for a long-term sustainable development
\nplan for oil palm production in Africa. <\/p>\n

Comprising
\nhigh-profile dignitaries, growers, NGOs, financial institutions and consumer
\ngoods manufacturers, the meeting acknowledged that if African palm oil producing
\ncountries achieved their ambition to convert from net importers to net
\nexporters, palm oil production would significantly increase. <\/p>\n

RSPO\u2019s
\nAssurance Director, Salahudin Yaacob, called for a \u201clong-term sustainable
\ndevelopment plan\u201d in the region, stating that \u201cRSPO can only achieve its vision
\nof transforming markets to make sustainable palm oil the norm through
\ncollaboration with all stakeholders, from growers to governments, and financial
\ninstitutions to NGOs.\u201d <\/p>\n

Abraham
\nBaffoe, Africa Regional Director for Proforest, said \u201ca sustainable oil palm
\nindustry in Africa is something we are deeply committed to \u2013 and it is
\nwonderful to have so much interest from companies and other stakeholders. We
\nlook forward to seeing these connections deepen as a result of this conference,
\nas we all work together towards an industry which contributes to the economic
\ndevelopment of African countries, whilst preserving the crucially important
\nbiodiversity of the region.\u201d <\/p>\n

Godwin
\nNogheghase Obaseki, Governor of Edo State, Nigeria in a remark, stated: \u201cIf
\nyou are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. Let me
\ncongratulate all of you here today, for demonstrating your commitment to a
\nsolution\u2026 It is in the interest of all of us in Africa to make sustainable palm
\noil the norm.\u201d <\/p>\n

Robert
\nFagans, Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Liberia, stated that, \u201cworking with
\nsmallholders to improve their yields through sustainable farming methods is
\ncritical for palm oil growth in Liberia.\u201d <\/p>\n
