Description
Summary:Abstract Sustainable development is a global action plan by world leaders, to address various problems, especially those related to the environment and social economy. Palm oil products as a featured commodity of Indonesia, are not immune to consumer demands, which are related to their sustainability. This study aimed to identify challenges and derive recommendations to be used in developing sustainable palm oil products, which is also likely to be accepted by consumers. This research was based on a literature study of current requirements, regarding sustainable palm oil products. Furthermore, the results showed that consumers’ demands were growing, especially those related to sustainability. Also, the consumers’ requirements towards palm oil products were resulting in minimum greenhouse gas emissions, protecting the workers involved, indirect land-use change, and traceability of the supply change of the commodities. However, as a solution, development of national standard was needed. Therefore, the Standard National Indonesia (SNI) for sustainable palm oil, was used as a guideline and requirement source for every producers of the products in Indonesia, in order to overcome challenges and increasing commodity competitiveness, in accordance with consumer demand.
