Summary
The report examines the palm oil supply chain from Colombia to the European Union (EU) and identifies the sustainability issues associated with it. The report finds that the palm oil supply chain from Colombia to the EU is characterized by a lack of transparency, limited traceability, and inadequate monitoring of sustainability standards. The report also reveals that the palm oil sector in Colombia faces a range of social and environmental challenges, including land rights issues, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. The authors argue that the palm oil supply chain can be made more sustainable through increased transparency, traceability, and monitoring, and by addressing the social and environmental challenges faced by the sector. Finally, the report provides recommendations for improving the sustainability of the palm oil supply chain, including the need for greater collaboration among stakeholders, stronger enforcement of sustainability standards, and greater engagement with local communities.
