Strengthening Traceability to Achieve Indonesia’s 30% Marine Conservation Target by 2045
Executive Summary 60% — that’s how much the global seafood profit could grow (from an estimated USD 76 billion) if traceability were implemented across all doable species and regions (Planet Tracker, 2022). The integrity of the global seafood supply chain is undermined by the dominance of Small-Scale Fishers (SSF) in major exporting nations and the continued reliance on fragmented, non-interoperable digital systems. This results in significant data gaps and unreliability, as

How Cocoa Companies Can Operationalize Supplier Evidence, Geospatial Assessment, Production Traceability, and TRACES Submission
Editor's Note: A geolocation pin and a supplier declaration used to be enough to call a shipment "EUDR-ready." What regulators and buyers actually want to see now is not just information on who produced or supplied the product and where it was grown, but also whether the plot was legally producing before the applicable cutoff date, how the risk was assessed, and whether the paperwork lines up cleanly enough to survive an audit. Most sourcing teams in cocoa, coffee, palm oil,

The 2.1% Gap: Why EUDR Sourcing Needs Post-Harvest Traceability & Field Work
Editor's Note: Ask a procurement or sourcing team what EUDR compliance actually requires, and the answer usually stops at the farm gate: map the plot, geotag it, file the Due Diligence Statement. That assumption is worth challenging, because it's incomplete in a way that costs money. The stage where most food loss actually happens, harvest to retail, not the farm itself, is also the stage where traceability records most often break down. A geotagged plot doesn't stay complia
