A platform to serve the palm oil industry by helping it foster a healthier and more constructive public discourse on the industry.
We believe that such a discourse will help accelerate the development of palm oil as a crop for the future. We use the constructive journalism approach toward the issues and stakeholders that eschews sensationalism, fault finding, click-baiting and other techniques to attract the mass audience.
Rather, we focus on achievements, progress and measured discussion of important issues affecting the development of the industry.
