This book explores how the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) influences the palm oil global value chain and what its impacts are on suppliers in Indonesia. RSPO is a partnership established in 2004 that aims to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil. RSPO members are the different international stakeholders including market actors in the chain, varying from oil palm growers to retailers, and non market actors such as NGOs. This book also attempts to explore how the organization climate of RSPO is, what quality standards are set by RSPO and into what extent the quality standards are implemented, and how the oil palm growers deal with the standards.
