EU makes so much noise over palm oil deforestation but takes a blind eye on their own deforestation of farming in europe
Agree..
So true, typical hypocrite..
and they dont even care to growing them back to virgin forest (without timber harvest).
Totally agree with you. Mart1
How about soy bean oil that clearing forest.. Totally nonsense.
Is Europe driving out Orangutans ? Didn't think so. Greedy little shithead.
You're trying to suggest palm oil deforestation is therefore OK? Deforestation is not OK in either place, but is on a massively larger scale and so its much more destructive in palm oil regions. Face it - palm oil deforestation needs to stop. Not all the ways the very wealthy make money for themselves is justifiable, and you can't pretend this is OK with the 'what about' argument.
This world is not only for human beings
ASWIN SK yea
It is
@@kingucrimson5383 prick
@@kingucrimson5383 are you actually delusional?
Always say that palm oil isn't environmentally friendly, even though what you fear is lower prices, that's trade war, Indonesia will not be afraid of you (Europe).
It seems that people are either ignorant, they just don't care or, finally, they cannot afford the price of good food. The 3 together maybe? They just continue to buy palm oil.
rodibremo it's hard to avoid but I try like hell
rodibremo just think, if around the world didn't want to use palm oil, maybe not only indonesia, but malaysa, and other country that major produce THIS will stop produce this, but the one who want it was them not us,
this is a sinister attack against palm oil, probably considering this industry is coming from developing countries. The EU and the so-called US NGOs are just tools to be used for some bigger agenda. It is ironic how much have palm oil contributed to these greedy few.
sadly, you people, the less informed, are easily buying into this crap. Let me put you into another perspective so that you know the facts, rather than buying the millions, the thousands and the hundreds that have been quoted in this video.
Here is some interesting numbers:
1. Palm oil only accounts for 0.31% of total 5 billion hectares used for livestock and crops (YES!!! THAT'S 0.31%!!!)
That;s equivalent to 15.5 million hectares only. Soy bean is far damaging to the amazon than the palm oil to south east asia.
2. Oil seeds that includes soy bean account for 5.25% of that 5 billion hectares. (yep, soy bean alone accounts for 120 million hectares - compare that to what palm oil land use is?)
3. Palm oil gives yield up to 3.6 tonnes per hectare, compared to only 0.43 tonne per hectare for soy bean (yes, palm oil has been saving us, the earth from more agricultural land.
4. Malaysia's palm oil plantations are actually from other crops that have been converted to palm oil. Mostly rubber trees, cocoa and other crops.
I cannot say much about Indonesia but again I would stress out that the deforestation is way way less than what other crops have done to our forests...sadly, these white colonialists, imperialists would say other wise!!!
there are so many good things like trans fat, eradicating poverty etc but this should be enough at the moment!!!

This is not about the environment. The European Union fears that their rapseed oil business cannot compete with palm oil (CPO). So they bring environmental issues to boycott CPO, so that people use rapseed oil. It's not about the environment, it's about European Union business.
Entertainment Account lmao no
totally agree to it..... propaganda....wat about soyoil or repseed.....how sustainable izzit......they are planted on roof tops izzit.....in order for it to be planted.... forest are cleared as well....and every time the plantations are cleared to harvest .....where else palm oil trees once planted, last for 20-25 years , only the fruits are harvested ....this in return repairs the damage dont earlier before planting ....and it creates jobs and incomes for human beings..... Western countries have to stop being lame......blady hypocrites

xXteh_doctorXx A lot of soy planted even in Brazil is GMO.
Agrees with you
Can someone explain to me the connection to palm oil.
The problem is deforestation, and if palm oil gives a high yield it's better than other options?
I don't get why everyone hates on palm oil instead of the practice in general.
I'm with you. Palm oil is used because seed oils were responsible for more than 100,000 deaths in the US alone per year from heart disease because of trans fats. Palm oil was the healthy alternative that has no trans fats, is rich in vitamin A and vitamin E and other associated tocopherols. The Soy industry responsible for destroying the Amazon rain forests tried to produce a trans free soy oil that was as good for deep frying and baking as palm oil was. They couldn't compete and lost billions in profits over a 10 year period. Their answer was to put their money into nature and wildlife funds with cute orangutans on the front cover to demonise the palm oil industry. Their product causes more rain forest destruction than palm but not to orangutans. What they did worked because concerned (gulable) shoppers demanded that palm oil not be used in food products. Meaning that soy, Canola, corn oils, etc were used that contain dangerous levels of omega 6 and trans fats when partially hydrated for deep frying and baking. More rain forests were destroyed but not in Indonesia and they're more likely to die from heart disease!🤪
Propaganda
This video is so well made. Thank you!

The fact is.. palm oil 10% of land use. soybean oil 60% of land use. Sun flower oil 12% according 2016 statistic.
The problem is this 10% lands that Palm Oil use is RAINFOREST. The best type of forest to fight climate change. Soy bean uses arid land in sub tropical climate.
@@kaptenhiu5623 boooo... double standard.. you want our rain forest to fight for your survival climate change. Nonsense.. so you can sell your soy and sunflower oil.. we green the earth.. one palm tree can stand 30 years.. very cheap compare to your soy and sunflower.. got a cycle to grow.. need to a lot of job.. watering..ooo and chemical fertilizing.
Hold on, its illegal to burning tree in Malaysia -_-. And also, Malaysia dint not use more forest.Unlike Indonesia???
even if its illegal ppl will still do it
People need to realise the problem is the process and not palm oil. Palm oil actually requires much lesser land to grow than alternative biofuels .
Both were terrible ideas.
I make my own toothpaste 🦷 with coconut oil (I make myself with the fruit) and baking soda. I can tell the baking soda is not indispensable. It is also a great personal deodorant, in which case the baking soda is needed! I avoid hair products now so that after my last wash my hair has basically been clean as hair products weight it down and because it is curly I get it wet sometimes to get tightened curls. I have not used soap for bathing since 2017.
yo that's nasty. use soap to bathe. trust me then u will smell good.
but... isnt like.. palm oil comes from trees, so even after cutting tress down, they'll still be tress?
But palm oil is also needed isn't it?
So what are the suitable or sustainable alternatives.
When presenting and issue, also present better solutions or workarounds.
It's really hard to avoid palm oil nowadays. People use it in almost everything. I know only one type of chocolate bar that doesn't have any palm oil in it.
FreezingIce i know thats why you just cant do anything these days without harming something
Go vegan

marza109 almost everything has palm oil... even shampoo
I would try to help but it ain't like my mom is gonna spend more money for a non palm oil item then a cheaper Palm oil item.
The dangers of using palm oil is truly not discussed enough. I do care about the environment and I do my own research to educate myself, but I only recently heard about this issue, which is crazy to me, because it's a huge problem! And now that I'm aware of it, I realised so many products contain palm oil. It's almost impossible to avoid it completely.
Good luck, scientists were looking for palm oil alternative for the last 100 years. What's better than palm oil? It's ”sustainable palm oil”. Google it.
Trans fat is deadly. Seed oils were causing more than 100,000 deaths in the US alone each year from heart disease because of their levels of trans fats. Palm oil is trans fat free, has good amounts of vitamin A and high amounts of the right type of vitamin E tocopherols so why would you want to take palm fruit oil out of food products and replace it with the deadly vegetable seed oils again? Palm fruit and it's oil comes from Africa and has been used for millenias by Africans, including by the ancient Egyptians as a valued fruit and oil source👍
STFU. Germany & France & The UK has far less forests area as a % compared to Malaysia & Indonesia. They can cut 70-80% of their trees and nobody threatens to ban their export. Meanwhile in Malaysia & Indonesia the problem is much less severe and these people who chop more trees than us want to preach about deforestation. Palm oil is not dangerous, it's debatable to this day. Every type of food has its pros and cons. Alcohol is good for your health but if you take it excessively it's deadly. So you do the check & balance and you will see palm oil is not any more dangerous than any other oil, it's cheaper and it makes the most economic sense, plus those lazy Europeans don't want to do dirty farm work anyway. It's also funny when 2 years ago Indonesia banned palm oil exports the EU was begging for more palm oil 😂😂😂. The EU parliament is filled with just a bunch of idiots. You must be an idiot too if you believe in their lies.
And kids are often the target for palm oil based products.
What no one seems to realize is that there is not enough land in the tropics to provide palm oil products for right billion people.
It took the annihilation of the indo Malayan rain forest to make that clear. All of the worlds tropical forests are being destroyed mainly today for palm oil. And it's still not enough.
Yet strangely enough the world got along just fine without the stuff.
Most of Indonesia's palm exports were going to India and Pakistan to make laundry detergent last I heard.
You have no idea about being Malaysian or Indonesian,shut the fck up
Still the most healthie oils
Hello I am Orang Utan, known as Human in the forest...I live in eastern part of Malaysia. Over the past 10 years, I find my family members had been unable to find bananas, jambu (tropical fruits), rambutan, durians in our natural habitat due to excessive logging for oil palm trees. So many of my friends and relatives are killed and homes destroyed due to the fire for land clearance for oil palm plantation.
Please support the EU campaign by supporting them on Facebook about banning the import of palm oil into EU countries. 🤞🤞
Orang HooTan yep. We will produce more soy & corn oil just like the western country did. It is more nature friendly right?
Do you think that by stopping the production of palm oil you'll save the planet? As this campaign hitted the consumers, good marketers started to put big "palm oil free" ads on their biscuits, even though using palm oil could've been more sustainable than using other fats. Now they will just find another fat, maybe unhealthier, and not environmentally friendly either, and you consumer will just forget this story, while thousands of Indonesians maybe lost their job because of the drop in demand of palm oil. Now the solution is, (and I'm not just talking about palm oil production, this is true for the whole industrial farming sector), that the wealthy western consumer starts to ask for food that's sustainably made (both from the social, economic and environmental point of view) and most importantly, is willing to pay it the right PRICE. Do you want poor Vietnamese children not being exploited for fabrics making? Then stop buying 10 or more t-shirts a-year for $5 each!!!!!
That's capitalism, baby. It is as easy as that.
Indonesian people, LDC people in general, have their RIGHT TO DEVELOPMENT.
And seeing some wealthy, western folks proudly talking about their "ethically" made, palm oil-free biscuits, while blaming on Indonesian for deforestation, even though their own countries are historically responsible for the large majority of GHG emissions.... JUST MAKES ME LAUGH.
As someone that agrees with this video can also admit that these are all very valid points. A lot of things need to change and it is up to us as the consumer.
We're okay doing bad things as they're profitable and who're blaming were doing same mistakes. Is it okay ❓
When making a video about environmental damages, maybe mention the biggest rain-forests destroying factor and greenhouse gas contributor - ANIMAL AGRICULTURE!

It is one of them... But so is this also going on in the US of A …
They do, though..
Yep correct
The world devotes more than 300 million hectares for oilcrop production. Palm oil accounts for 6% of this land use, which is small when we consider that it produces 36% of the oil.
We can compare crops in terms of their yields - how much oil we can produce from one hectare of land. This comparison is shown in the chart. Palm oil stands out immediately. It achieves a much higher yield than the alternatives. From each hectare of land, you can produce about 2.8 tonnes of palm oil. That’s around four times higher than alternatives such as sunflower or rapeseed oil (where you get about 0.7 tonnes per hectare); and 10 to 15 times higher than popular alternatives such as coconut or groundnut oil (where you get 0.2 tonnes per hectare).
1 hectare of palm produces 12 hectares of soybean oil.
That makes Europe unable to compete because their land can only be planted with soybeans.
Is It just me or does the thought of having over privileged American white kids try to lecture me on the environment and right vs wrong make you want to 🤮🤮🤮. I think these useless kids Should be forced to live in the poverty of the average Indonesian kid for 6 months and see if they still hold their same sanctimonious attitude towards those useless apes and palm oil plantations? They be begging the palm oil companies for money in about a week without a cell phone.
That's why I make sure EVERYTHING I buy has at least some palm oil in it
what's you see in indonesia malaysia, this is your country before today...
Ikr
Ikr
What are the alternatives if other types of oil produce lower yields and need more forest area? It seems like you wouldn’t be able to buy anything since everything contains oil or needs oil to cook
By looking up brands that obtain palm oil ethically
Most products made with palm oil are just useless grossery snacks.
So upsetting to see this happening.
The UK, France & Germany have chopped off 70-80% of their trees. Malaysia & Indonesia haven't even reached 50%. Those idiots in the EU who want to ban palm oil should look at the mirror and slap their face first before they slap someone else
The money for this crap comes from rich farmers in the first world who don't want to lose out to farmers in the third world clearing land and competing with them. You need to pay closer attention

The Malaysian palm oil industry is a major source of smallholder economies and has helped bring them and their families out of poverty. Dr Mahathir Mohamad rejected the claim that oil palm cultivation was the main cause of deforestation as it was mainly cultivated in specialized agricultural land. Only 0.4% of the total global agricultural area is used for oil palm cultivation. Palm oil is not only less expensive than soybean or sunflower oil but it requires less soil to produce and provide jobs.
we have our own reserve forest. no one can destroy the reserve forest for the sake of plantation. no need to worry.
Palm oil creates poverty. It destroys natural resources forever. They can use land to produce crops and raise animals to eat with their families as it is made where I live. They don't need more. They can build traditional homes with natural materials. They don't need electricity or modern commodities. In my island many people live like that. We must not create the need for new products when they have always been happy without our trash culture. We are wrong and they are right. In my island people were perfectly happy and healthy without technology. They had water, they had fire, they had houses, they grew food, they raised animals. They had their own shamans and natural medicine. Modernity is the source of all evil. They should stop having so many children if still they find out it is not working! Overpopulation is a continuous cause of disease all over the world. Two children per women is the replacement population. Otherwise poverty will always persist.

what i get from this video is the only reason why palm oil affects the environment is because companies buy forrest land and clear it for use. i feel like this is just one of many processes that does this. palm oil production doesnt really seem to have a direct impact
Yes, I agree they should have quantitized the cost in electricity and enviromental factors the production of the oil adds to the polution production.
and then there was a commercial at the end for you to buy their palm oil. FIGURE IT OUT !!!!!!!

Recently found out Perfectly POSH, uses Palm Oil in their products... and I was told they were Naturally Good. Actually, I find this to be a fallacy. People should research the products they try to sell, and then ask themselves... Was the COST worth it?
Why does the consumer have to choose not to use half of the products in the supermarket. Why don’t governments and institutions create regulations that cater to sustainable oil production without the consumer having to suffer? Making millions of consumers limit their choices is much harder than 1 large institution changing the production regulations.

I think its because of the demand that creates supplies. The demand had initially came from the west,..I can say Portugese, VOC started the idea depleting our resources starting in 15th century, and then come other countries, while we had our inherited local wisdom to care for our natural resources, it was spoiled. Industrial period was introduced from the west and we are a nation of resources in developing economic growth, palm oil industry became one of them. It gave us job employment from a perilous opportunity. The world use palm oil for much of the consumer retail food, snack manufacturers , personal care and cosmetics (mainly palm kernel oil), Biofuel and energy ,animal feed (palm kernel expeller), Pharmaceutical , Industrial . Who started this ? We did not use any of these stuff back in the old time. Not to mention that much of palm oil land in Indonesia are owned by Singapore and Malaysian. If we stop the demand, use other material and let us manage our resources and retain our forest. Forest are natural and do not need the human touch. This is a problem inherited from 1960's to our current Govt administration. I’m relived EU has banned palm oil imports from Indonesia I think it should never had started (other PO importers as well ). Lets move forward to ensure they have the right policy and enforcement to prevent further damage. Hoping to have ethical production
so sad when this happening to my country 😥😥
It’s not up to consumers to put an end to it. We never asked for palm oil. It’s big industry that’s doing this.
Palm tree producer of big transnational companies
cut rain forest,
with promises to local farmers,
falsely told them to make a fortune with it.
But who makes profit are only those big concerns.
Now the livelihood and
self supply of those local
asian and worldwide farmers who could earlier cultivate
fruit and vegetables
in the jungle as their own garden has gone.
Western goverment even subsidize palm oil tree cultivation.
Less and less rain forest is left for a possible organic farming by local farmers,
and a demand of retail trade and customers who appreciate
pesticide,herbicide
free food.
Oliver Forster true
Sorry, i as indonesian am really sorry about this
Indonesia and malaysia are sorry for this
@ssbbike zelgius just shut up then, if you can convince the corporation, try then, because if you can't then shut up, this one was from europe demands ok?
nice video
In Guyana, the state-owned sugar industry is unable to produce sugar at competitive int'l prices resulting in the closure of several sugar factories and lay-offs of thousands of workers. With millions of hectares of arable land left abandoned - oil palm plantations maybe a sustainable agri-industry that is welcome. We would love to get small farmers and large corporations from Indonesia and Malaysia to invest here in Guyana. Any takers?
There will be no issue here in Guyana with deforestation and destruction of animal habitat.
Colombia did it, on formerly cow grazing lands
Lets take part in it
Huh, be very careful about videos like these. They often contain agendas that you may not know.
Has anybody asked why palm oil is being singled out? What about other crops, don't they too need land for planting? I can name many plants that use a lot more land: rice, wheat, soybeans, tomatoes, etc. The only difference is that these plants grow in western countries, while palm oil does not.
My understanding is that soy oil (grown in western nations) is competing with palm oil (asian/african), so they are trying to kill the palm oil market.
I have even read many articles warning that palm oil is harmful, when in fact, it is beneficial.
This is Fucking True West POLITICIAN CORRUPT AS FU K
If you trust the west you kill your people by hungry and they lough at you and condemn you that you can not think and you are lazy.
They came here in Afrika, they cleared the land, they planted tea, sisal, cotton.They made very huge destruction of land but now they pretend they like the land!they are liar
Rainforests only cover 2% of the world's landmass, but they contain over 50% of the world's biodiversity. Deforestation in South East Asia is happening faster than in any other forest on Earth.
We are in the biggest mass extinction event since the age of the dinosaurs. Millions of years of evolution and thousands of years of culture has been lost in the last 30 years.
The world doesn't need palm oil. Biofuel is slowing the transition to electric vehicles and contributing to climate change. Other oils can be grown on areas that are not significant biodiversity hotspots.
There needs to be a tax paid by consumers on products that cause deforestation. The money should go back into buying and maintaining the forests for future generations.
That true bro..I'm Asian I'm know
Palm oil not effect ecosystem to much than westernize talkabout..
Wildlife can survive in palm oil because environment palm oil similar with forest than other plantation and wildlife are easily share a food with human its not a disaster but it evolution it process wildlife to become more tame to human.
Next generation mybe about 20yr there are lot of wildlife are become pets.
yess I am Indonesian and I am disappointed with my country which allows the cultivation of very large oil palm. thus making many animals and plants have no place to live. I am very concerned about what is happening in my country that makes a big negative impact for the whole world. But indonesia also give positive impact that all product we can use every day contain palm oil and most of lokal employee can get money to feed their children and wive.but yah I hope we can choose a better things than this (palm oil)
So what are farmers going to plant: soy, rapeseed instead? Educate yourself on crop yield per hectare science first.
@@wakyIIsr The world devotes more than 300 million hectares for oilcrop production. Palm oil accounts for 6% of this land use, which is small when we consider that it produces 36% of the oil.
We can compare crops in terms of their yields - how much oil we can produce from one hectare of land. This comparison is shown in the chart. Palm oil stands out immediately. It achieves a much higher yield than the alternatives. From each hectare of land, you can produce about 2.8 tonnes of palm oil. That’s around four times higher than alternatives such as sunflower or rapeseed oil (where you get about 0.7 tonnes per hectare); and 10 to 15 times higher than popular alternatives such as coconut or groundnut oil (where you get 0.2 tonnes per hectare).
1 hectare of palm produces 12 hectares of soybean oil.
That makes Europe unable to compete because their land can only be planted with soybeans.
Indonesia. I don't see any serious actions conducted by the government regarding palm oil plantation environmental issues.
Who eat a thing that contains palm oil while watching the video
Me I eat a pizza yesterday and I am watching
Me eating Nutella while watching this
Sunflowers oil plantations in Europe much more worse, why you don't lift that issue? See no more forest in Europe. For as I know sunflower absorb less carbon and release less oxygen due to its small size.
Having said deforestation in Indonesia why European doesn't rebuild their lost forest?
I'm Indonesian, and I feel ashamed
I need ur help about palm oil .plz reply
Its not the palm oil that you should ban.. you should ban deforestation.. palm oil is a good product, not dangerous. If thats the case, you should ban everything that is created using factory because it brings pollution to the world. Deforestation is wrong, not palm oil
Does anyone know what the soundtrack is?
too sad with highe anger 😟😠😠😠
yes
Hey!
Thanks 😭
He i love animals and the rainforest
this is propaganda ,, whose forest is responsible? if Europeans really love forests, they help take care of them, not impose operations on the state of the forest owner,
Me who’s watching this during COVID but this is sad
It’s in over 50% of our supermarket foods. It’s really not good for you either.
evidently, the conditions are atrocious. but, also, evidently, someone's demonising a side here.
Why was takepart shutdown??
Nowadays only palm tree need to grow on land...
i agree that EU want to stop deforestasion by banning palm oil , but they killing millions smalholder palm oil business in indonesia and malaysia.
Is the problem with palm oil or with the world hunger of cheap cooking oil ? Will the problem solved by shifting to corn oil ?
If not palm oil, what then?
Ecotourism only goes so far. Many tourist quickly realize that a tropical rain forest is wet, hot, humid., full of leaches, mosquitoes and other biting insects. Very few tourist are tough enough to hike in such conditions much less camp in there (ie waking up to a cluster of 20 leeches on the side of your body).
Also rain forest land is very infertile due to the rainfall washing out must of the nutrients in the soil. You cannot plant most crops on laterite soil. The few things you can grow is palm oil.
At the end of the day your have to ask yourself, what is the worth of animal life compared to human life .
Indonesia has a population of 264 million. By definition nearly all its land was once rain forest.
This video doesnt represent and judge the whole picture of current palm oil industry. Anybody are welcome to those producing countries to see how they are being cultivated. Then they will for sure understand!
Lol....sure.
Not only this but all beautiful rain forests in Indonesia , Thailand, Borneo, Java, Sumatra is being destroyed by these greedy people. Boycott palm oil because to plant palm crops, people are burning and cutting precious rainforests in these south asian countries.
is wheat any better? is corn oil any better
put your hand up if you not here by choice
What are all the names it goes by?
it was holland on 1848 brought the plant from africa and then in 1911, a belgium made first comercial company. yeah It was europe civilization did
How about sunflower and soybean destroyed forest
I would say they should end this horror but just knowing palm oil is in every product I pretty much use on a daily basis just makes it really hard to say so :I
palm oil ingredients in any products is as ubiquituous as made in china labels.
This has to stop
So sad😢😭
Why tho? Fashion industry takes more resources. We don't need more clothes. Coconut milk is healthy and so is unrefined palm oil. Refined has no health benefits.
A famosa pasta de avelã tem óleo de palma tbm
This is so stupid of us we r literally killing what keeps us alive and what we evolved from. We should remember humans aren't the only animals on earth why do we have a right to to do this? Its unfair😭
Not our fault. You Western brought palm oil to South East Asia and colonize us to get money for your own country.
I am awake at last , I now know what the orangutans go through .......on fire ? Fuk that !!! Breaks my heart
62,000 sq miles = 160,000 km^2
We should have to avoid the consumption of palm oil......
