Darrel Webber, Secretary General of the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) is on the breakfast grille to discuss:

- proportional representation on the RSPO where only 15% of members are made up of growers and millers

- imposing RSPO principles and criteria on the small growers. Is it economically viable?

- formulation of human rights policies. Does this really help the lower skilled labour force in palm oil production?

- Oil Palm and the environment

- the industry's reputational issues and how to move on
