Article Synopsis
- - The agricultural commodity trade significantly contributes to the global economy but also leads to serious social and environmental issues, including deforestation.
- - Commodity traders play a crucial role in combating deforestation, as they operate in producing regions and have the potential to drive change, but their sourcing practices are often unclear.
- - Many traders source over 40% of their commodities through local intermediaries, which creates a gap in sustainable sourcing efforts; addressing this indirect sourcing is essential for effective deforestation initiatives.
