Winning in the EU Market: How Vietnam’s US$8B Coffee Sector Can Transition from Volume to Verified, Digital, and Sustainable Supply Chains
Editor’s Note: Vietnam’s coffee sector has long been defined by scale. Today, its next phase of competitiveness will be defined by proof. As global buyers, regulators, and financiers increasingly demand verified origin, deforestation-free sourcing, and emissions transparency, access to premium markets such as the European Union is no longer determined solely by price or volume. Instead, it hinges on data integrity, digital traceability, and the ability to demonstrate sustain

Transforming the Next 20 Years: How Inclusive Agriculture 4.0 Can Empower the Smallholders Producers Behind 85% of Global Palm Oil Supply
As palm-oil demand rises, the sector must boost productivity without expanding into forests—starting at the first mile.

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

From 6 Million Smallholders to Plot-Level Accountability: Why Natural Rubber Traceability Is Being Redefined?
Natural rubber traceability is evolving beyond supplier declarations toward plot-level accountability. As global regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) reshape sourcing expectations, rubber companies must adopt verifiable, farm-level data to strengthen supply chain transparency, support smallholders, reduce compliance risks, and build resilient, deforestation-free supply chains for long-term market access.

China’s €7.1B Wood and €4.01B Rubber Exports: Agricultural Product Traceability Is Becoming Non-Negotiable
China exports over €11 billion worth of wood and rubber products to the EU each year, making agricultural product traceability a critical requirement for market access. As regulations such as EUDR and FSMA demand verifiable origin data, Chinese supply chains face growing pressure to move beyond documentation and build end-to-end traceability systems that can prove legality, sustainability, and compliance.
