Sales of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) climbed to 16.2 million tons in 2025, equivalent to 20 percent of the world's palm oil supply, according to the latest Impact Report 2026 published by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
The data points to substantial headroom for further expansion. RSPO member growers currently hold the production capacity to deliver 31.4 million tons of certified sustainable oil, roughly 39 percent of total global output. In practical terms, this means CSPO could realistically approach 40 percent of worldwide palm oil supply if that capacity is fully activated.
Certification is advancing most rapidly in Latin America, where RSPO members now represent nearly 75 percent of regional palm oil production, with 29.3 percent of the region's output already RSPO-certified as of 2024. Africa posted the steepest supply increase, with CSPO volumes up 46.23 percent year on year, while Malaysia recorded a 9.07 percent gain.
RSPO is also extending its reach across key consuming markets. The organization now counts 6,280 members spread across 103 countries and territories, with the most recent membership acceleration recorded in China, Indonesia, and Japan.
However, RSPO stresses that expanding global demand for certified products remains critical. In 2025, independent smallholders generated $7.9 million through credit sales, but the organization warns that sustaining their long-term economic incentives will depend on continued growth in demand for sustainable palm oil.
