How many palm oil mills are there in Thailand?

Currently, 11 bio-diesel plants, 15 palm oil refineries and more than 80 palm oil mill companies are in operation in Thailand (DIT 2016). The mills are mostly considered as ¡°stand-alone¡± as not have own plantation. Therefore, they rely solely on buying FFB from third-party smallholders. Smallholders play a crucial role in the Thai palm oil sector.

Why do smallholders in Thailand produce low quality palm oil?

With these constraints, smallholders in Thailand produce low yields, resulting in a low quality of palm oil being extracted in the mills. Moreover, at present, only around 2% of Thailand¡¯s entire palm oil output is produced by Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)-certified smallholders and palm oil mills.

How can we promote sustainable palm oil industry in Thailand?

Should oil palm smallholders be able to microfinance in Thailand?

While oil palm smallholders account for over 70% of palm oil production in Thailand, they nevertheless lack opportunities to access microfinancing programmes, skills and knowledge about sustainable farming, as well as certification standards, which would enable them to access global markets.
