Palm oil is the first global vegetable oil that has its own sustainable governance system and sustainable vegetable oil certification. The first two countries to receive vegetable oil certification for their palm oil are Indonesia and Malaysia. Other global vegetable oils, including soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil and olive oil, do not have a sustainable vegetable oil governance system and are yet to receive sustainable vegetable oil certification.
Since its enforcement from2008 through 2015, about 5 percent of all internationally distributed palm oil is certified sustainable palm oil (Table 1). No other vegetable oils have been certified.

In conclusion, palm oil is the only global vegetable oil that has undergone and received sustainable certification.
Minyak sawit adalah minyak nabati global yang pertama di dunia memiliki sistem tata kelola dan sertifikasi minyak nabati berkelanjutan. Dan negara pertama di dunia yang melakukan sertifikasi minyak nabati adalah Indonesia dan Malaysia. Minyak nabati dunia yakni minyak kedelai, minyak rapeseed, minyak bunga matahari, minyak zaitun dan lain-lain bahkan belum memiliki sistem tata kelola minyak nabati berkelanjutan dan belum melakukan sertifikasi minyak nabati berkelanjutan.
Sejak diberlakukan 2008 sampai dengan 2015 sekitar 5 persen dari minyak sawit yang diperdagangkan secara internasional merupakan minyak sawit berkelanjutan yang telah tersertifikasi (Tabel). Minyak nabati dunia lainnya belum ada yang tersertifikasi.
