24 Aug 2023 --- Leading ingredient suppliers Tradin Organic, Cargill and ofi are harnessing satellite monitoring solutions and AI to advance supply chain transparency as Europe prepares for the new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). These corporations are also increasingly supporting smallholder farmers with sustainable farming initiatives, recognizing the risks their exclusion from value chains could pose to reforestation efforts. The EUDR requires companies to ensure products sold in the EU have not led to deforestation, affecting commodities including coffee, cocoa, palm oil and soy. Suppliers must provide a “due diligence” statement confirming that their products have not come from deforested land since 2021.
