KOTA KINABALU, Aug 29 — Medium-sized oil palm producers in the state will soon adopt sustainable practices under the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) and Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification standards.

This comes after the first meeting of the Koperasi Lestari Penanam Sawit Sabah Berhad (Klass), a cooperative to assist the producers get group accreditation under the two certification standards.
