Introduction is good, use of flowchart is nice. But before mentioning about NEOM-OP, talk about how bringing area under cultivation of other oilseeds like mustard, sunflower etc would impact production of cereals which in turn would further impact food security. Importance of the oil palm mission will be justified that way.
In benefits, points are good but most are generic- write some oil palm specific points such as higher yield, area that has been already identified for cultivation etc.
Challenges mentioned are fine, issue of oil recovery can be added.
In way forward, you can also talk about declaring oil palm as a plantation crop this enabling corporate participation.
Other points are fine, try to mention a brief conclusion, the answer looks complete that way.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Introduction is good, you can add the recent measure of banning exports by certain countries. In impacts, however, points no. 2,3,4 are essentially the same- you can mention them in a single point. Further, impact on food security can be mentioned (cultivation of other oilseeds like mustard, sunflower etc would impact production of cereals which in turn would further impact food security).
Mention of NMEO-OP is good, benefits are fine too.. some oil palm specific points such as higher yield, area that has been already identified for cultivation etc. can be mentioned.
In challenges, first two points are not about oil palm but other oilseeds such as sunflower, mustard etc. You can go through the article attached above for better clarity. Challenges related to oil palm would be long gestation period, issue of oil recovery etc.
Conclusion is fine, you can also talk about declaring oil palm as a plantation crop which will enable corporate participation in production.
Keep practicing. 🙂
