The palm oil sector in Europe and especially in Germany offers high market potentials for producers and processors
• High market potential for certified palm oil and palm kernel oil in Germany as well as other European countries
• The main challenge is to connect palm oil producers and processors of certified palm oil with the market
• Current market bottlenecks provide a chance for palm producers to enter the market and to satisfy customers needs
• Niche markets, for example organic palm oil, offer high price premiums for producers and processors
Ø In the following you will find conclusions for the European market derived from a detailed analysis of the German palm oil sector

Palm derivate processors face several challenges – however, there are solutions available
Bottlenecks especially for mass balanced or segregated palm kernel oil
Perception that palm derivate supply chains are too complex to be MB/SG
certified
Certified palm derivatives too expensive
Challenges for processors
MB/SG certified
palm and palm
kernel oil derivatives
Challenges and solutions for palm derivate processors
• Use products from all available certification systems in the market
• Conduct a supply chain pilot and experience certification options for reducing complexity
• Get connected to new suppliers of certified palm derivatives
Solutions
Meo Carbon Solutions can be instrumental in reducing supply chain complexities and connecting producers and processors of palm and palm kernel oil derivatives
