SUSTAINABLE TROPICAL OIL
IS A REALITY
IDENTITY PRESERVED MODEL
AgroAmerica Tropical Oil Holding Corp. has adopted the Identity Preserved (IP) chain of custody model, which guarantees customers that all fruit processed at the tropical oil plants is 100% certified, ensuring traceability in the supply chain.
TRACEABILITY
Agroamerica Tropical Oil Holding Corp. owns four oil processing plants, where 100% of our plants have a traceability system, in which we have installed a software that allows us to track the origin of CPO [Crude Palm Oil] and CPKO [Crude Palm Kernel Oil]. (See the geographical location of our oil processing plants.)
Proccesing Plants
100% of our crude palm oil or palm kernel oil is produced in our own plants.
Each Processing plant includes it’s own crushers, making a total of 4 crushers located inside each mill; in which our Palm Kernel (PK) is processed, allowing us to guarantee the complete traceability of our products.
The three Crushers located in Guatemala run under the RSPO IP model inside our oil processing plants.
Refinery Plant
The Plant has the Supply Chain Certification under the RSPO Identity Preserved, Segregation, Mass Balance models and RSPO Supply Chain Certification Standard, which guarantees the traceability of the supply chain from plantation and processing facilities to the certified final product

1 tropical oil refining plant
We have a refining plant located in Mexico with an operating capacity to produce 180 Tons per day of Refined, Bleached and Deodorized (RBD) Oil; which eliminates the content of fatty acids, humidity and impurities and obtains products such as olein and stearin for human consumption and as raw material for personal care products.
Certification Status
Agroamerica has committed to building a 100% transparent, traceable and sustainable palm supply chain by 2021.
As added to No Deforestation pledge, in Traceability our commitment is: All tropical oil volumes we produce, trade (ship and physically handle) and process will be traceable to sustainable mills and plantations by 2021.
In our sustainable work, we actively pursue certification of all our oil palm plantations under global sustainability standards, such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard (RAS).
