JAKARTA, April 20 (Reuters) - Under increasing pressure from environmentalists, Indonesia plans to introduce "green certificates" for palm oil producers who meet sustainable standards, a senior agriculture official said on Tuesday.
The government plans to issue Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification to cover production from field to factory, said Achmad Manggabarani, director general of plantation crops at the agriculture ministry.
The global palm oil industry has promoted green certification through the voluntary Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a group formed in 2004 to develop ethical practises including commitments to preserving rainforests and wildlife.
Some players in Indonesia, the world's biggest producer of palm oil, already subscribe to the RSPO system, but many do not.
