Wisconsin Eagle/10138935

HUDSON, Wis. - WisconsinEagle -- The organic palm oil supply chain has faced challenges in recent years due to increasing global demand for responsibly sourced palm oil. To answer the demand, Agropalma, the largest producer of sustainable palm oil in the Americas, has expanded its production. In partnership with Ciranda, its commercial partner in the United States, the companies will supply the organic food sector with the highest quality palm oils and shortening.

Compared to previous years, Agropalma has doubled its production capacity with approximately 4,000 hectares of organic plantations. Its actions include several investments to significantly increase the organic planting area; selection of non-transgenic seed species, resulting in higher productivity; and specialized professionals to manage organic production areas. For the 2021 harvest, the company estimates a 31% increase in the bunch harvest, offering a reliable source of certified sustainable palm oil.

Currently, Agropalma has a total area of 107 thousand hectares in the Amazon Region, with 64 thousand hectares of preserved forests, including programs for monitoring and protecting biodiversity. In the 43 thousand hectares destined to the palm plantation, the company has adopted a zero-deforestation policy since 2001 and all its oil production is certified by RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), with 100% traceability in all phases of its supply chain.
