The Consortium for Studies on Palm Oil (CSPO) was established in 2015. Since then, CSPO has been involved with multiple parties and consistently produced research on various aspects of palm oil, including economic, social, and environmental. To collaborate with researchers from these fields, CSPO will expand its membership. The consortium will socialize its vision, mission, and activity roadmap at a workshop on May 27, 2016. This workshop is part of the seminar titled “Determining a Plantation Empowerment and Replanting Model for the Sustainability of Indonesian Palm Oil,” which will be held on May 28, 2016. The workshop and seminar are a collaborative effort between CSPO, Perhepi Medan, and Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU).
