grew strongly in 2013.
The volume of actual RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil on the market swelled from 1.3 million tonnes in 2009 to 12,89 million tonnes in 2015 (2633 RSPO members worldwide). This is going to the 3 million hectars benchmark.
While there is a delay in market uptake, about 73 percent of certified palm oil was purchased — a substantial percentage. The past year also saw strong growth in sales of certified sustainable palm kernel products. More numbers and charts are available in the online: RSPO Market Center.
