The management of the palm oil (PO) supply chain is a long and complex matter, particularly when dealing with sustainability, halal aspects, and international trade and shipping. Roundtable on Sustainable Palm oil (RSPO) and halal certification is deeply discussed in this chapter. While RSPO focuses on the sustainability of PO production, halal certification focuses on the Shariah-compliant aspect of the supply chain. Differences between four models of RSPO have been elaborated while halal control points and halal risk management has been discussed in this chapter. Case study has been provided based on Sime Darby Oils Langat Refinery. Possible contaminants from different blends of cheaper oil are possible, and several detection methods have been developed by scientist such as GC-FID and DSC. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
