CPOPC toward Stronger with Costa Rica🇨🇷

CPOPC continues to expand its engagement with palm oil producing countries, including in Latin America, as part of its mandate to foster cooperation, knowledge-sharing, and sustainable development across the palm oil sector.

CPOPC held a courtesy meeting with Mr. Francisco José Masís Holdridge, Chargé d’Affaires of the Embassy of Costa Rica in Jakarta, and welcomed Costa Rica’s interest in closer cooperation and shared the strategic value of CPOPC membership, including access to platforms for policy dialogue, technical exchange, smallholder capacity-building, and international advocacy.

CPOPC also shared its ongoing contribution to supporting palm oil producing countries in Latin America, including through capacity-building initiatives for smallholders. In Honduras, CPOPC is facilitating the upcoming Good Agricultural Practices training to support more sustainable, productive, and resilient smallholder practices.

This reflects CPOPC’s continued commitment to advancing practical cooperation, knowledge-sharing, and inclusive sustainability efforts among palm oil producing countries.

Secretary General Mdm. Izzana Salleh, joined Panel 1: New Markets for ASEAN Commodities, which discussed ASEAN exporters’ responses to the evolving global market through market diversification, stronger South-South trade, and greater focus on domestic consumption and value creation.

Mdm. Izzana emphasized that “The future of ASEAN commodities is not just about finding new buyers, but about building a more resilient and inclusive trade model where sustainability remains fair, science-based, and supportive of smallholders.”

CPOPC’s participation reinforced the role of palm oil in ASEAN’s broader discussion on resilient commodities and sustainable trade, while emphasizing that sustainability implementation must be credible, practical, and inclusive for producers and smallholders.

Another Step Forward for Smallholder Empowerment!👩🏻‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾🌴

CPOPC conducted a GAP Training in Pasangkayu, West Sulawesi, empowering 67 smallholders and extension officers with essential skills in Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). The programme is co-organized with Astra Agro Lestari () , Malaysian Palm Oil Board (), and Riset Perkebunan Nusantara ().

Guided by experienced trainers, participants are learning key aspects of sustainable plantation management, from nursery and land preparation to pest and disease control, fertilization, pruning, soil and water conservation, and farm financial management, along with the importance of smallholder organization.

The learning goes beyond the classroom, with field visits that demonstrate best practices in action and participants actively sharing experiences, discussing challenges, and learning from one another.

Through this initiative, CPOPC reaffirms its commitment to advancing smallholder capacity, strengthening productivity, and supporting a more sustainable and resilient palm oil sector.

🤝 Strengthening collaboration with Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

CPOPC held a courtesy meeting with H.E. Simon Namis, Ambassador of Papua New Guinea to the Republic of Indonesia, to further deepen cooperation with PNG as a CPOPC member country.

The meeting reaffirmed CPOPC’s role as a platform for producing countries to exchange perspectives, address shared challenges, and strengthen collective advocacy for the palm oil sector. CPOPC also introduced the GFP-SPO as a key initiative to support sustainability frameworks among producing countries, particularly as PNG currently does not have a national certification system. Both sides further exchanged views on Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in PNG, with CPOPC exploring potential areas to support its development.

Moving forward, CPOPC remains committed to working closely with Papua New Guinea to advance practical cooperation, strengthen the voice of producing countries, and support the sustainable development of the palm oil sector.
