Addressing indirect sourcing in zero deforestation commodity supply chains.

•  

  Abstract: Abstract The trade in agricultural commodities is a backbone of the global economy but is a major cause of negative social and environmental impacts, not least deforestation. Commodity traders are key actors in efforts to eliminate deforestation - they are active in the regions where commodities are produced and represent a 'pinch-point' in global trade that provides a powerful lever for change. However, the procurement strategies of traders remain opaque. Here, we catalogue traders' sourcing across four sectors with high rates of commodity-driven deforestation: South American soy, C?te d'Ivoire cocoa, Indonesian palm oil, and Brazilian live cattle exports. We show that traders often source more than 40% of commodities 'indirectly' via local intermediaries, and that indirect sourcing is a major blind spot for sustainable sourcing initiatives. To eliminate deforestation, indirect sourcing must be included in sectoral initiatives, and landscape or jurisdictional approaches, which internalize indirect sourcing, must be scaled up.

  Key words: sourcing; indirect; deforestation; traders; commodity; initiative
