Commodifying sustainability: Development, nature

  • Who regulates the palm oil industry?
  • Whilethe RSPO can be understood as part of a “transnational network state” ( Pichler, 2013:372) that is partly regulating the industry, it is the nation states of Indonesia and Malaysia that are the central actors that intervene to guarantee the linchpin of the profitability of the palm oil global production chain: cheap land and labour.
  • How sustainable is the palm oil industry?
  • The second test of the sustainability of the palm oil industry is climate change, particularly as ‘biofuels’ from palm oil are still being propagated in both Southeast Asia and Europe as a means of reducing carbon emissions.
  • What is the relationship between the palm oil industry and Malaysia?
  • The relationship between the palm oil industry and the state isparticularly close in Malaysia. In its ‘developmental state’ phase, the state nationalised three large British owned plantation corporations: Sime Darby, Golden Hope and Guthrie, which were later fused to form the huge Sime Darby corporation ( Kaur, 2014 ).
  • How does political influence affect palm oil?
  • These intricate ties to political influence not only give palm oil corporations access to large concession permits at the regency level and help them avoid prosecution for crimes such as forest fires or pollution of waterways. They also mean that palm oil corporations shape policy and the way in which the industry is regulated or deregulated.
