The plan to intensify the Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification as a counter strategy against negative campaign is hampered by legality issue and overlapping land-use. Agriculture Ministry Plantations Director General Bambang said that ISPO is a realization of the need to implement proper palm oil management so that other countries can no longer pose negative campaign against Indonesia’s palm oil. Thus, he asserted that palm oil companies and farmers must solve land legality issues immediately.
