Proforest joins the Editorial Committee of FEMEXPALMA’s Revista P de Palma

Proforest is now part of the Editorial Committee of Revista P de Palma, a publication of the Mexican Oil Palm Federation (FEMEXPALMA) aimed at Mexico’s palm oil sector. Through this role, we will contribute technical knowledge on sustainability across the oil palm value chain, with a focus on due diligence, traceability and work with smallholders.

A relationship built over time

Proforest and FEMEXPALMA have worked together for several years on sustainability in Mexico’s palm oil sector. Participation in the committee builds on that relationship and creates a space to turn knowledge generated in the field into useful content for producers, companies and other actors in the chain.

What we will bring to the committee

We support producers, companies and organisations in implementing sustainability commitments. This experience allows us to contribute technical evidence and concrete examples of the sector’s challenges and progress, including:

• human rights and environmental due diligence in supply chains;
• traceability to the production area;
• the inclusion of smallholders in responsible supply chains;
• the use of reporting and verification frameworks, such as the NDPE IRF.

A first example is the article by Daniel Arancibia, Director of Proforest Latin America, on the update to version 6.0 of the NDPE IRF, published in Volume 13 of the magazine.

The magazine is published three times a year, in April, August and December, and each issue features technical articles, case studies and industry news. The December issue will be the first in which Proforest will officially participate as a member of the Editorial Committee, marking the start of this new phase of collaboration with FEMEXPALMA. From then on, Proforest will take part in the committee’s editorial discussions and contribute content tailored to the needs of the palm oil supply chain in Mexico.
