GAPKI using EUDR delay to help smallholder farmers make compliance adjustments

In Indonesia, the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI) will take advantage of the delayed implementation of European Union Deforestation-Free Regulations (EUDR) to improve the ecosystem of palm oil in Indonesia.

Recently, the association said the delay of the EUDR implementation will give time for the palm oil industries, especially smallholders, to make some needed adjustments to comply with the EUDR. “During that one year, we’ll try to improve the palm oil industries so that all players can comply with the international requirements,” said GAPKI’s chairman.
