Q & A SESSION 4 SPKS Rohul: 1) What are the pre-requisites for smallholders to gain RSPO certification? (To General) Answer: Compliance with Smallholder P&C adapted for each country (NI). For smallholders, RSPO is looking into a group certification system. 2) Is RSPO willing to provide guidance to help smallholders? (To General) Answer: Yes, through the TFS (Task Force on Smallholders) and National Smallholders’ Working Groups. Kanisius (SPKS): 1) What happens when a certified smallholder wants to sell his FFB to an uncertified mill? (To General) Answer: Their FFB will be certified. RSPO is looking into incentives for certified FFB. 2) Why are Indonesian companies so reluctant to join RSPO? (To General) Answer: They are not reluctant – just getting themselves ready to join. Marcus Colchester (Forest Peoples’ Programme): 1) Generic standard is developing guidance for smallholders – has different requirements for tied and independent smallholders. It is urgent to complete this. Task Force plans this. 2) Funding of certification by smallholders is a challenge. The meeting on Monday called on RSPO to create a fund to assist smallholders with the costs of audits (and repeat audits). Answer: Comments noted. Rosdiana (IPOB): 1) Please find an experienced body to implement group certification, e.g., FSC, the well-known agent in Indonesia is the Indonesian Ekolabel Institute (LEI). (To General) 2) Smallholder certification should be assisted financially, with the cost subsidized by an RSPO fund. Answer: Comments noted.
