Palm

An estimated 60% of palm oil exports (approximately 16 million tons) have displaced forests in Indonesia and Malaysia since 2000. Palm oil is used in a variety of products, from snack foods to personal care products to biofuels and chemicals. While oil palm is the highest-yielding vegetable oil crop, plantation expansion has been linked to deforestation. The key products include palm fruit, crude palm oil, palm kernel oil, and palm oil derivatives.
