How forced labour and land grabs remain sticky issues for palm oil
In 2020, palm oil produced by Malaysian giant Sime Darby, the world's biggest producer of palm oil certified by Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, was banned from the U.S. after its Customs and Border Protection flagged forced labour in its supply chain. International brands including Kraft Heinz, Nestle and Unilever shunned the supplier in response.
