BARRANQUILLA, 9TH JUNE 2017Sustainable Palm oil:Start of a new journey
2
Palm Oil, general facts
• Equatorial crop • Columbia is ranked 4th biggest palm oil producer
• High yielding • almost 4 tons/ha; 7-10 times higher then any other seed
oil
• Important Economic Driver• Main agricultural crop and highly labor demanding
• Small holders• 40% of total production
3
Importance of Palm Oil
• Available• most used vegetable oil in the world representing 35% of
global vegetable oil production (Oil World)
• Price competitive• generally less costly then competitive vegetable oils
• Versatile• adaptable to many applications thanks to fractionation,
without hydrogenation
• Stable• generally longer shelf life compared to other seed oils

The food market is changing…
Consumers are more aware and informed about FoodFrom the year 2000 several scandals related to food;
• Mad Cow Disease• Wine Adulteration• Milk Powder contamination in China• Horse Meat labeled as Beef in EU
Consumers are disoriented and frightenedNew categories of products try to address consumer concerns: “Free of …..” is a new trend in the market (es Sugar-free, Lactose-free, Gluten-free, and lately Palm Oil Free)
5
Why is palm oil under attack?• Health
– saturated fats
• Sustainable– frequently accused of unsustainable practices in the producing countries
• Food safety– recent “warning” by EFSA on process contaminants
• Image– reputation is generally bad
Entire Categories shifted away from Palm Oil (Biscuits/Salty Snacks/Cooking Oil)Confectionary sector is reacting; where feasible change of recipes for palm oil free labeling; in few “concerned” markets in Europe

Ferrero started to use palm oil in the early ’60, origin was West Africa
Ferrero open his first “patisserie” in Alba just
after the second world war it the so called “terra della
malora”
History of sustainability, Ferrero & Palm Oil
Raw materials must meet specific freshness, quality and safety
requirementsKey principles: excellence in quality,
full respect for human rights, sustainability
Where possible, strategic raw materials are sourced directly
Long term commercial relationships with producers and suppliers
Controlled with a policy of complete traceability

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
2015300 years ago 1987
U.N. World Commission on Environment and
Development: Our Common Future 1987 ("Brundtland
Report") defined the concept: "A development which meets
the needs of the present generations without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs.“
Today’s guiding principle of sustainability has its origins in forestry. In 1713 – 300 years ago this year – Hans Carl von
Carlowitz, a German, published his book Silvicultura
oeconomica, which advocated the conservation, growing and use of wood in a continuing,
stable and sustained manner.
