Situación actual y perspectivas de la RSPO para Latinoamérica.

South America has the largest suitable area for the development of oil palm plantations in the world. It is estimated that there are in Brazil more than 8.5 million hectares of degraded areas in the state of Para alone, located in the northern part of the country. The region has the best geographic and logistic position among all palm oil producers for supplying the United States and Europe, has a strong market for domestic consumption and available labor force. Even so, South America's three major producers, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil together have currently just over 550 thousands hectares of planted area. The development of the oil palm plantations in the region has been slower than in others, such as Asia. Much is due to the set of more stringent environmental laws, higher labor and social security taxes and low level of funding, whether public or private. In the last few years, new opportunities have emerged with the advent of biodiesel with mandatory blends in Brazil and Colombia. The consumption of palm oil in South America is experiencing an accelerated growth, higher than the average of the past years. Major projects for plantations were circulated in the press before the current economic crisis, projects that promised to triple the planted area of the region in little more than a decade. In this presentation we will show how the RSPO initiative can in a sustainable way, enhance the potential of this region, analyzing the pros and cons and discussing the challenges and opportunities of a change of view regarding the pace of current and future developments of a new oil palm plantations within the actual and modern sustainable environmental and social models which are desired and demanded by civil society.

Se estima que solamente en el estado de Para en el norte del Brasil hay más de 8.5 millones de hectáreas disponibles. La región tiene la mejor ubicación geográfica y logística para abastecer a Estados Unidos y Europa, tiene un fuerte mercado de consumo local y una fuerza laboral disponible, A pesar de ello, los tres principales productores, Colombia, Ecuador y Brasil, tienen áreas cultivadas combinadas de solamente 550 mil hectáreas. El desarrollo de cultivos de aceite de palma en la región ha sigo más lento que en otras regiones, como por ejemplo Asia. Esto en gran parte se debe a la existencia de leyes ambientales más estrictas, mayores costos laborales y de seguridad social y un bajo nivel de financiación, tanto pública como privada. En los últimos años han surgido nuevas oportunidades gracias a nuevas disposiciones en Brasil y Colombia sobre la utilización de determinadas proporciones de biodiesel. El consumo del aceite de palma en Suramérica actualmente está creciendo aceleradamente más que el promedio de los años anteriores. Antes de la actual crisis económica, en los medios se anunciaron varios grandes proyectos de plantaciones que prometían triplicar las áreas sembradas en la región en poco menos de una década. En esta presentación mostraremos cómo la iniciativa RSPO puede mejorar el potencial de la región de manera sostenible, analizando los pros y los contras e indicando los retos y oportunidades que representa un cambio de perspectiva con relación al ritmo de crecimiento actual y futuro en el desarrollo de nuevas plantaciones, en el marco de nuevos y modernos modelos de sostenibilidad ambiental y social que son deseados y exigidos por la sociedad civil.South America has the largest suitable area for the development of oil palm plantations in the world.
