Credible industry voice
Desai said IVPA is recognised as a credible voice of the industry and is committed to serving as a vital communication link between industry and the Government. IVPA has been collaborating with various government ministries to provide valuable inputs for policies aimed at enhancing stakeholder value, stimulating economic growth, and ensuring a sustainable supply chain, he said.
Stating that IVPA played a pivotal role over the past year in facilitating communications between the industry and the Government, particularly during critical times, he said this included recommending price policies for rabi crops and addressing concerns related to edible oil inflation. IVPA also expanded its global outreach by signing memorandums of understanding with the Malaysian Palm Oil Board and the Palm Oil Refinery Association of Thailand during the IVPA Global Round Table Conference @ 2.0. These agreements aim to foster cooperation in areas of mutual interest, he said.
