  • A resolution issued by Peru’s Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI) aims to boost the sustainable development of palm oil production in the country.
  • Critics argue that it will lead to increased deforestation and that Indigenous organizations were excluded from the regulation’s drafting process.
  • Oil palm is cultivated to obtain palm oil, which is used as a raw material in beauty products, toiletries, food and biodiesel.
  • The regulation adds to at least two other recent measures by the Peruvian government with potential environmental impacts.
