PUTRAJAYA: There should be no issue about Malaysian palm oil entering the European Union market when all plantations and mills are certified for sustainability by the end of 2019, says Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong.

The Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister said making it mandatory for all to have the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification saw the number of smallholders and corporations submitting applications shoot up by 210% over the past seven months.
