Supporting Documents for Growers

The key output of the NPP is a report that proposes how and where new oil palm plantings should proceed, or not, for a given management area and proposed integrated management plan. The NPP report is verified by CB, vetted by the RSPO Secretariat before a 30-day posting period on the RSPO website and on-site notice boards for public comment. Planting and any associated development can only begin once the NPP notification is completed and RSPO approval is granted, as well as all applicable local legal requirements are met.
