Fairtrade International has introduced Plot Insights, a specialised platform designed for cooperatives producing cocoa and coffee. The tool is intended to help these organisations manage their geolocation data more effectively.
According to Food Business Africa, the platform allows cooperatives to assess risks related to deforestation. It also provides a secure method for sharing this critical information with buyers.
The launch comes as producers prepare for the implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), ensuring that supply chains remain compliant with new environmental standards.
