- [OUR POINT OF VIEW ON THE PALM OIL INDUSTRY: <br>Issues & ways forward](https://livelihoods.eu/paving-the-way-to-sustainable-palm-oil/) - Palm oil is nearly everywhere. From food to cosmetics, cleaning products and even biofuel, palm oil is prized for its versatility. And the industry is booming. In the past 50 years, the world production of palm oil has increased by more 35 times, and is still expected to grow rapidly. Palm oil is also an important source of income to millions of smallholder farmers, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia where 84% of the world palm oil supply comes from. Today, about half the people in the world rely on palm oil as part of their diets and it is the dominant oil used in food in Africa and Asia. But palm oil is also mostly known for being highly controversial. Growing only in the tropics, in areas which are rich in biodiversity, intensive palm oil production has been a major driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss since the 1980s, disturbing the habitat of endangered species like the Orangutan, pygmy elephant, or Sumatran rhino. The palm oil industry needs to go through a deep and urgent transformation to produce more sustainably, as the international market demand continues to grow. What makes palm oil so successful? What is the real impact of palm oil on deforestation? And what are the ways forward for the palm oil industry? Let’s have a closer look.
