To achieve this, ANIAME promotes a higher national production of oilseeds and oil palm.\n\nAmong others ANIAME's activities include to represent the oils & fats sector in trade negotiations; the elaboration of government and industry standards; the analysis of Mexican and global markets of oilseeds, oils & fats, and protein meals; to be in contact with government authorities (Economy, Agriculture, Health, Environmente, etc) and with kindred private associations and institutions.   \n\nCurrently, ANIAME continues to promote the development of sustainability certification schemes for Mexico:  the National Interpretation of RSPO Principles & Criteria and a Mexican Standard based on RSPO P&C.","NATIONAL INTERPRETATION PROCESS: To support the implementation of the RSPO P&C on country level and encourage a sustainable palm oil industry in M√©xico, ANIAME has been promoting and funding the NI process. \n\nWith help of the facilitation team, e3 Consultora Ambiental, the National Interpretation Working Group (NIWG) was officially formed during 2017 with the participation of more than 50 organizations including growers, supply chain actors, government representatives, environmental and social civil society organizations, financial institutions and other stakeholders.\n\nOn February 2019, after eight working meetings, the Mexico NI draft was approved by the NIWG and a series of public consultations forums organized and funded by ANIAME were carried out in order for all stakeholders involved in the sustainable palm oil industry in the country to get to know the NI and contribute to the inclusion of relevant information. \n\nThe forums were held in EscaÃÅrcega City, Campeche, BalancaÃÅn and Villahermosa, Tabasco, Tapachula and Palenque, Chiapas and Acayucan, Veracruz, the four Mexican states which are the main producers of oil palms.\n\nNearly 407 people related to the sustainable palm oil sector participated in these forums, including small and medium size growers, local governments, financial entities and local NGOs.  Particularly, during the Public Consultation Forum held in Tapachula City, the then technical manager of RSPO in Latin America, Katherin Ibarra, presented the new independent smallholder standar and its certification.\n\nTo facilitate the presentation of the NI and explain the work methodology during these forums, ANIAME, with the help of the facilitation team, designed and printed materials that were delivered and explained to the attendees.\n\nAfter the forums and until the end of the public consultation period (July 19, 2019), the reception of comments by electronic means was kept open. All the comments collected in person, as well as the comments received electronically, were organized by criteria and based on their theme or impact objective, so all contributions were integrated into three documents corresponding to their goal impact: prosperity, people and planet.\n\nOnce the comments received during public consultation were organized, the next WG meeting was convened in order to review and discuss each comment to analyze the relevance of its incorporation into the final version of the NI. To do so, the Ninth Working Group meeting was held on August 8 and 9 in Mexico City.\n\nDuring the ninth meeting it was possible to review 100% of the contributions related to the prosperity and environmental impact goal, on the other hand, the comments related to the social issues included in the impact goal prosperity document achieved a 33% advance. \n\nThe 10th reunion was celebrated in Mexico City and during the meeting it was possible to analyze all comments. The facilitator team agreed to make public all comments resolution by its publication in the Mexico National Interpretation website: www.inrspomexico.org, and to integrate the final version of the NI to shared it with WG so it could be validated by all members, to be subsequently translated into English and send it to RSPO for review and approval.The final version of the Mexican NI draft was sent to RSPO  on November 2019.\n\nMEXICAN STANDARD BASED UPON RSPO P&C PROCESS: After the ending of public consultation on January 2019, the working group of the Mexican Standard, led by the Ministry of Economy‚Äôs National Standards Office, and supported by the Ministries of Agriculture and Environment, ANIAME, oil palm growers organization (COMEXPALMA), held several meetings to review all comments received.

This program, called SALSA (Sustainable Agricultural Systems in Southeast Asia), supported by the Alliance for the Preservation of Forests, should allow a concrete integration of disciplines and multi-stakeholder teams on a network of experimental platforms in South-East Asia. \n\nA. A decision Support Tool for Pesticide Management\nHow to assess the risks of pesticide leakages in order to improve practices? Research is aiming at adapting an agri-environmental indicator derived from the INDIGO, I-Pest-Palm method, taking into account the very specific palm oil practices and the culture conditions favoring or not the risks of leakage. The indicator has been validated using herbicide loss measurements on experimental plots over several years. The idea is to provide science based information against the belief that the oil palm is a big consumer of pesticides.\n\nB. Life cycle analysis of compost from oil mill residues\nHow to recycle oil palm waste to reduce the carbon impact of CPO production while improving soil quality? The process of composting mill residues allows the concentration of residual nutrients in the waste to optimize the logistical cost of return to the field; it reduces the external input of synthetic mineral fertilizers, and limits the generation of greenhouse gases emitted during the anaerobic treatment of effluents because they are injected into the composting process without being treated. On the other hand, the composting process itself requires energy and can emit greenhouse gases. The life cycle analysis approach, through its holistic perspective, allows for a complete assessment of whether the final impact is indeed positive and where the process can be improved to reduce its negative impacts.\n\nC. Socioeconomic mapping of bushfires over the 2009-2015 period including the El Nino episode (in partnership with WRI)\nThis project focusses on the economic and social typology of fire outbreaks and on the identification of risk areas and families of probable causes. Ongoing research relies on the establishment of prospective models. The aim is to address the misconception that fire outbreaks and their regional consequences (haze) are mainly due to activities form the oil palm industry. The idea is that replacing rural practices (getting rid of biomass residues by using fire) through the purchase of biomass from villagers could prevent up to 42% of fires.\nThis study presently focuses on the impact of industrial concessions exploiting the oil palm, certified RSPO or not, on fire outbreaks.\n\nD. Harvesting of biomass and peatland restoration at a pilot District level \nThe project under discussion with Ogan Komering Ilir district - OKI in South Sumatra and Bureau of Peatland Restoration of Indonesia).\nA R&D Project BIGHGDEAL: Biorefineries, GHG and DEgraded Agricultural Landscapes, is presently under design with Universiti Putra Malaisia. The aim is to innovate sustainably to fight against the outbreak of fires: to give value to the biomass to push to harvest it on the village exploitations. The project is also based on the restoration of peatland areas in agreement with their inhabitants, giving villagers a sustainable economic activity with a high ecological impact: the valorization of biomass for the production of energy and / or biomaterials.\n\nE. The SALSA Platform \nIn order to realize this ambition, CIRAD is setting up a Platform in partnership for the construction of scientific projects and training curricula with its public and private partners in Southeast Asia, a region of the world where problems related to the sustainability of major agricultural sectors are particularly prominent (deforestation, rural poverty reduction, family farming, etc.). \nSALSA (Sustainable Agricultural Landscapes in Southeast Asia) aims to federate and mobilize regional scientific and training skills in the sustainability of perennial crops sectors. SALSA will promote, within a framework of collective action, the concrete integration of disciplines and multi-stakeholder teams into research, training and development projects that will be conducted on the ground through shared experimental networks and academic and training curricula tailored to the needs for present and future skills.\n\nF. Cost and Benefit Analysis of RSPO Certification for Smallholders in Malaysia\nThis research was granted RSPO funding and it is implemented by CIRAD and Universiti Putra Malaisia. In order to close knowledge gaps, this study aims to investigate, using a comprehensive industry cross section, the financial costs and benefits of RSPO certification. It will include certified, prospective, non-certified and uncertified scheme and independent smallholders. The overarching objective will be segmented to address the research questions below:\n‚Ä¢ To what extent and in what way is RSPO certification profitable for Malaysian smallholders?\n‚Ä¢ Do different types of smallholders experience varying outcomes over time and what isthe extent of the difference?\n‚Ä¢ If any are identified, for what reasons do different categories of smallholdersexperience different outcomes?\n‚Ä¢ If certifications costs are self-funded by smallholders, will RSPO certification still be profitable to them?\n\nG.
