Palm Oil Monitor was founded in 2018 in order to bring informed analysis to the global palm oil debate, covering economic, social and environmental issues, as well as certification, trade and global vegetable oil markets.
Our analysis is widely read in the Southeast Asian region and also across Europe. Our authors are often quoted by journalists seeking a balanced view on palm oil, rather than opting for the European perspective on the world’s most productive oil crop.
