Abstract

Palm oil is a key global commodity, accounting for nearly 60% of the global vegetable oil trade. However, it faces significant criticism from Europe and the US due to issues such as deforestation, illegal resettlement, forest burning, wildlife endangerment, and human rights violations. Recently, the Covid-19 pandemic posed additional challenges, disrupting production through labor restrictions. This study explores Malaysia’s responses to these challenges, including those posed by the pandemic. Employing a qualitative exploratory design, data were gathered through document analysis and semi-structured interviews, analyzed using inductive thematic analysis with Atlas.ti 8 software. The findings highlight Malaysia's strategies, such as the Sustainable Palm Oil Manifesto, the establishment of the Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries, campaigns against anti-palm oil propaganda, and the creation of palm oil-related institutions, alongside measures to address the Covid-19 crisis. Malaysia’s responses emphasize sustainable agricultural practices aligned with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil principles while adapting to pandemic-related disruptions. These efforts demonstrate the nation’s commitment to balancing economic priorities with sustainability and resilience in the face of global challenges.

Abstract

The oil palm tree originates from West Africa and was introduced to Malaysia in the early 1870s by a British individual. In 1917, a Frenchman named Henry Fouconnier became the first to plant oil palm commercially in Tennamaram, Selangor. The production of palm oil has since become a cornerstone of Malaysia's socioeconomic development. It serves as one of the nation’s primary income sources, driving economic growth, generating revenue, and alleviating poverty. This paper explores the pivotal role of the palm oil industry in Malaysia’s socioeconomic landscape, despite challenges such as limited land for expansion. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing document analysis and semi-structured interviews for data collection. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted using Atlas.ti to analyze the data. The findings highlight the significant contributions of the palm oil industry, including providing food for human consumption, creating employment opportunities, generating income for farmers, supplying raw materials for industries, alleviating poverty, enhancing living standards, supporting renewable energy sectors, and contributing to economic growth. In conclusion, the palm oil industry plays a vital role in Malaysia's socioeconomic development. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating such industrial contributions into educational curricula to foster a comprehensive understanding of sustainable economic practices.

Abstract

Oil palm is a west African crop. The trade in palm oil has emerged during the industrial revolution led by Britain, this palm oil was used to lubricate machines. In 1960s, Nigeria was the largest producer of palm oil globally, which accounted for the 43% of palm oil production entirely, but then the entire production declined due to some factors that slowed the palm oil production growth. While in Malaysia, oil palm production serves as the leading and contributing sector to its economy; and it also achieved recognition globally. Palm oil has made a huge contribution to Malaysia economic growth by providing employment, improving infrastructure, alleviating poverty, and generating income for workers and government. This paper objective is to explore the Nigerian decline and Malaysian sustainability on palm oil. It is a qualitative paper, it used primary and secondary method to collect data. The primary method used open-ended interview to collect data, while the secondary method used documents such as: books, journal, conference papers to collect data; and it employed inductive thematic analysis for analysing the interview data collected. It used ATLAS.ti 8 software to help analyse the data. The finding is Nigerian decline which includes: oil boom in 1970s and decline in agriculture, civil war, and traditional palm oil production; and Malaysian sustainability on palm oil includes: environmental consciousness, economic escalation, and social commitment. In conclusion, Nigeria has to learn from Malaysian sustainability to recover its production.

Abstract

The tropical forest of West Africa is initially the first area where the oil palm was discovered before the 14th century. In particular, Nigeria was one of the places where this fruit was uncovered. Palm oil is ranked as the major vegetable oil in the world. In the 1960s, Nigeria was rated as the largest palm oil-producing and exporting country globally. However, the production was completely unsuccessful as a result of the government’s failure to formulate good policies, while the local consumption increases. Oil palm production in Malaysia became a contributing sector to the national economy. It alleviates poverty, provides employment, allocates resources, generates incomes, and leads to economic development. Due to good and sustainable palm oil policies in this sector, Malaysia achieved global recognition. This paper’s objective is to disclose the ineffective policies on palm oil in Nigeria and its sustainability in Malaysia. This paper is a qualitative design, it used primary and secondary methods. The primary method is based on a semi-structured interview, while the secondary method is based on documents. It adopted inductive thematic analysis for analysing interview data with the help of Atlas ti. This paper’s finding is the unsuccessful palm oil policies in Nigeria and the sustainable palm oil policies in Malaysia.In conclusion, there is a need for Nigeria, to learn from the Malaysian experience.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted on the global economy of palm oil. This paper explores the Malaysian response on the challenges raised by the western countries on palm oil, and how Malaysia responds to these challenges as well as the recent trend of Covid-2019. The study employs a qualitative exploratory design to collect and analyze data, with primary data gathered through semi-structured, open-ended interviews conducted face-to-face, involving three carefully selected participants from Malaysia to ensure diverse perspectives. The research uses qualitative document analysis to interpret the data and draw meaningful conclusions. The results show that the Covid-18 pandelic impacted Malaysia's palm oil global economy by decreasing the global demand, disrupting the trade, restricting labour mobility and declining production. As a result of these challenges, Malaysia government responded with certain formulated policies in form of phases which were implemented as first Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18th March 2020 to 3rd May 2020. The Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification scheme was effective in enhancing market access and consumer perception would provide valuable insights into its role in promoting sustainability. Moreover, examining innovative uses of the palm oil by-products and their potential to mitigate environmental impacts could contribute significantly to sustainable production practices. Finally, evaluating the effectiveness of ongoing policies related to deforestation and land use, alongside stakeholder perspectives, would deepen the understanding of how to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship in Malaysian palm oil sector.
