4 Value Chain of Palm Oil Industry (agronomy & estate management) Processing (milling and refinery) Supply Chain Management (consumer and transportation) Sustainable Strategy Specific Objectives maximising the productivity of PO utilising wastes mitigating climate change on oil palm growth and yield minimising impacts on environment 13 1 Sustainable Palm Oil Industry Expected Outcomes Social Higher-value job and livelihood opportunities Enhanced quality of life of local communities Economic Increase the productivity of existing plantations will reduce pressure to convert pristine ecosystems into new plantations Increase PO contribution to Malaysia GPD to 8 9% Environment Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from land use change. Reduce by 4 MM tons CO 2 equivalent per year Increase waste recovery rate of 80 90%

5 Adapting to the negative effects of climate change Return biofertiliser from palm oil processing Intercrops under-utilised crops with OP Ameliorate soil fertility, health and biodiversity Genetic modifications Return biofertiliser from palm oil processing Produce genotypes resistant to pests and diseases 18 1 month after transplanting using organic fertilizer 1 month after transplanting using CIRP 20
