  • What is the oil palm supply chain in Thailand?
  • Oil palm supply chain in Thailand In figure 2, it illustrates the key supply chain of palm oil production in Thailand which comprises smallholder, miller, refinery and Biodiesel plant and consumer. More than 70% of the area planted with oil palms is managed by smallholders with average sizes of 8 ha (Dallinger 2011).
  • Does Thailand have a sustainable palm oil production system?
  • In contrast to Malaysia and Indonesia, Thailand has no national certification scheme for the sustainable production of palm oil (Ivancic and Koh 2016 ). The first RSPO pilot project for smallholder farmers in the country was supported by the German Organization for International Development (GIZ) and several private crushing mills.
  • Where does Thai oil palm production come from?
  • The majority of Thai oil palm production comes from over 120,000 smallholders throughout the country. RSPO has been introduced in Thailand and its standard was accepted by private sectors as voluntary standard, but apparently stakeholders in the upstream particularly for farmers have been moving very slowly.
  • How many palm oil mills are there in Thailand?
  • Currently, 11 bio-diesel plants, 15 palm oil refineries and more than 80 palm oil mill companies are in operation in Thailand (DIT 2016). The mills are mostly considered as ¡°stand-alone¡± as not have own plantation. Therefore, they rely solely on buying FFB from third-party smallholders. Smallholders play a crucial role in the Thai palm oil sector.
  • Can palm oil mills reduce pollution in Thailand?
  • Applying cleaner technologies in palm oil mills can considerably reduce pollution of palm oil production in Thailand, as shown by the GRN scenario. This scenario implements a combination of the most effective options; including options to better manage EFB and fiber.
  • What model is used for palm oil production in Thailand?
  • Our analysis is based on two models that we recently developed; a sectoral and a landscape model for palm oil production in Thailand (we refer to crude-palm oil (CPO)) (Saswattecha et al., 2016a, Saswattecha et al., 2016b ).
