Palm oil wrongly targeted

2015-02-28 07:13:17| Livestock - Topix.net

Oil palm plantations have been unfairly implicated by non-government organisations as the primary driver of deforestation, but the crop takes up only 0.1 per cent or 15.6 million ha worldwide. On the other hand, the livestock industry in 2012 utilised 31 per cent or 4.7 billion ha of the world's total land area 300 times more land area than that used by the palm oil industry, says Malaysian Palm Oil Council chief executive officer Dr Yusof Basiron.
