    THE first cut may be the deepest, but subsequent cuts have also proved painful for IOI Corporation whose Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) sustainability certification was suspended by the organisation in April.

    The sanction has added downward momentum to the company's share price which was already trending down owing to the slump in crude palm oil (CPO) prices.
