Episode 3 - The Mighty 40% (Smallholders)
The Palm Pod
The palm oil sector is often perceived as a "Big Boys' Game," dominated by large corporations controlling the global market. However, this narrative overlooks the significant contribution of independent farmers—smallholders—who account for approximately 40% of the global palm oil sector.
Hosted by Fara Rom, this episode of The Palm Pod shines a light on the critical role smallholders play in shaping the industry. Joining us is Francisco Naranjo, Director of Technical & Smallholders at the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), to explore why including smallholders in the palm oil conversation is essential for building a more inclusive and sustainable future.
