Over 2200 Jambi Independent Oil Palm Smallholders Achieve Historic Dual RSPO and ISPO Certification, Unlocking Global Sustainable Palm Oil Markets

JAMBI, Indonesia, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In a landmark achievement, a total of 2,266 independent smallholders from three farmer groups in Jambi Province have officially received Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification, covering a total land area of 4,171.62 hectares. This dual certification is the first of its kind at this scale and represents a multi-stakeholder effort, successfully tackling long-standing challenges, including land legality, institutional capacity, and access to global sustainability standards.

In November 2022, RSPO together with the Jambi Provincial Government, Yayasan Setara Jambi, and Tebo Regency, Sarolangun Regency, and Tanjung Jabung Barat, established this multi-stakeholder sustainable palm oil certification acceleration programme to unlock global sustainable palm oil markets for smallholders. Guntur Cahyo Prabowo, Head of Smallholder RSPO, says "This achievement is not merely a handover of certificates, it demonstrates that Indonesian independent smallholders have the capacity and commitment to meet the highest sustainability standards. When government systems, farmer organisations, legal processes, and market actors collaborate, smallholder inclusion and certification can be achieved. RSPO is proud to be part of this journey and remains committed to expanding its positive impact to more independent smallholders across Indonesia".

Adopting a dual pathway approach where ISPO is the foundation for national sustainability and RSPO is the international sustainability standard, the synergy between the two standards has enabled independent smallholders to meet domestic market requirements while simultaneously opening access to global export markets that are subject to increasingly stringent regulations. Sulistio from Koperasi Konsumen Agro Tani Lestari (KKATL), Sarolangun, reflects that "After receiving training and improving the way we manage our farms, we started to see improvements in our production. More importantly, for more than a year now we have been selling our fresh fruit bunches directly to PT. Inti Guna Nabati through our partnership arrangement. The prices we receive are higher compared to farmers who are not part of such partnerships.

The dual certification model has proven to be more affordable for farmer groups, while helping to overcome the administrative challenges that often serve as an initial barrier to certification. Dr. Iim Mucharam, S.P., M.P., Director of Oil Palm Crops, Directorate General of Plantations, Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia stated "One important lesson from Jambi is that smallholders do not view sustainability standards as competing systems. Smallholders are seeking practical solutions that improve legal compliance, strengthen their organisations, provide market access, and improve livelihoods. Moving forward, we believe there is value in exploring how different sustainability frameworks can become more complementary and mutually reinforcing. If a farmer has already demonstrated compliance with sustainability requirements, then our collective challenge is how to make that achievement more efficient, more accessible, and more rewarding for the farmer."

The future of sustainable palm oil should not be about creating additional burdens for smallholders, but rather about building pathways that reward those who have demonstrated a commitment to sustainable practices. Through close collaboration between central and regional governments, civil society organisations, Setara Jambi as the implementing partner, and the full support of RSPO and ISPO, this multi-stakeholder partnership model is expected to serve as a reference for other regions across Indonesia in expanding independent smallholders' access to certification and sustainable palm oil markets.

About RSPO:
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global partnership to make palm oil sustainable. Formed in 2004, the RSPO is a multi-stakeholder non-profit organisation that unites members from across the palm oil value chain, including oil palm producers, palm oil processors and traders, consumer goods manufacturers, retailers, banks and investors, environmental or nature conservation non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and social or developmental NGOs.

As a partnership for progress and positive impact, the RSPO facilitates global change to make the production and consumption of palm oil sustainable. To inspire change, we communicate the environmental and social benefits. To make progress, we catalyse collaboration. To provide assurance, we set the standards of certification.

The RSPO is registered as an international association in Zurich, Switzerland, with main offices in Malaysia and Indonesia, and offices in China, Colombia, Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States.

Flagship 52U Liquid-Cooled Racks and Turnkey Solutions for Agentic AI

TAIPEI, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MiTAC Computing Technology Corp., a global leader in high-performance, energy-efficient server solutions and a subsidiary of MiTAC Holdings Corporation (TWSE:3706), is showcasing its advanced rack-scale architectures at COMPUTEX 2026 (Booth R0504, Hall 2) from June 2 to 5. Featuring a versatile, all-in-one AI infrastructure, MiTAC supports the complete AI lifecycle—from training and inference to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)—empowering global clients to overcome space, compute, and energy barriers in the emerging agentic AI wave.

"At COMPUTEX 2026, MiTAC is presenting a diversified AI infrastructure engineered to drive dynamic AI workloads through strategic ecosystem partnerships," stated Rick Hwang, President of MiTAC Computing Technology. "By integrating high-performance AI platforms with a robust hardware-software ecosystem, we deliver flexible, out-of-the-box turnkey infrastructure tailored for modern data centers."

Navigating Agentic AI: Mastering Scalability and Sustainability Challenges

As enterprises transition from generative AI to autonomous Agentic AI, the demand for massive computing power, ultra-low latency, and high-throughput inference has escalated. However, scaling traditional clusters increases orchestration complexity while exposing severe data center constraints in space, cooling, and power grid capacity.

Under the theme " Advancing Diversified AI Infrastructure," MiTAC tackles these multifaceted challenges head-on. Acting as a premier ecosystem enabler, MiTAC delivers one-stop turnkey solutions spanning compute, storage, networking, and liquid cooling, anchored by four strategic highlights:

1. Next-Gen Compute & Advanced Liquid Cooling

Breaking industry norms, MiTAC debuts its 52U High-Density AI Liquid-Cooled Rack. By integrating 12 extreme MiTAC G4826Z5 AI servers with 96 AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs, this solution delivers 50% higher GPU density per rack compared to standard AI configurations.

By leveraging cutting-edge cooling technology to maximize compute density and vertical scaling to minimize footprint, MiTAC employs a strict "turnkey rack-scale integration" strategy. Every component—from compute nodes and switches to CDUs and power management—is precisely calibrated for optimal deployment and peak performance.
