Malaysian smallholders urge EU to review deforestation regulations
Malaysian smallholders say the European Union's no-deforestation rule on products imported into the bloc goes against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as it affects the local community's livelihoods. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, March 15, 2023.
NASM deputy president Adzmi Hassan said Malaysia has an excellent record in forest protection and sustainable production. The six agencies said smallholders are collectively calling on the EU to stop discrimination and unfair protectionist actions contained in the EUDR, as it affects the livelihoods of smallholders who depend on income from palm oil and rubber exports to the EU.
“This will affect the living standards and income of communities, thereby diverting from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,” he said.
