Bogor, Indonesia – 24 June 2024, The Director of the Non-Aligned Movement Centre for South-South Technical Cooperation (NAM CSSTC), H.E. Ambassador Diar Nurbintoro, recently participated as a resource person at a Refreshment Course session at a specialized training session focused on Capacity Building and Training on the Palm Oil Sustainable Commodity Management based on Small-holder Farming for Like-Minded Countries (LMCs). During his presentation, the Director underscored the importance of diversifying processed palm oil products – such as animal feed, tools, and biomass – as a strategy to enhance sustainability and minimize waste in the palm oil production process.
Ambassador Nurbintoro also emphasized that the diversification of palm oil products not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also offers economic benefits by creating new market opportunities. By reducing waste, the palm oil industry can become more efficient and eco-friendlier, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Furthermore, the presentation highlighted Indonesia's role as a leading producer of palm oil, showcasing the country's extensive expertise in this field. Indonesia has been at the forefront of diversifying and adding value to palm oil products. From creating animal feed and tools to harnessing biomass for energy, Indonesia's innovations set benchmarks in sustainable practices, demonstrating the potential of the palm oil sector to contribute significantly to environmental and economic sustainability.
Moreover, the presentation aimed to showcase NAM CSSTC's pivotal role in facilitating capacity building programs related to palm oil for both member and non-member countries. Ambassador Nurbintoro expressed his hope that participating countries would gain a deeper understanding of NAM CSSTC's initiatives and establish further communication to explore other capacity building activities.
Through these efforts, NAM CSSTC continues to support sustainable development and foster international cooperation in the palm oil sector. The organization remains committed to enhancing technical expertise and sharing best practices to promote sustainability across various industries.
