Global Sustainable Supply Chains for Marine Commodities
An international guarantee for a global pioneer processThe UNDP Green Commodities Programme is facilitating supply chain
improvement to overcome the underlying barriers to sustainable production of high-traded commodities in Latin American, Asian, and African countries.
With the participation of governments, producers, traders, academicians, civil society organizations, and global big byers, the programme has potential for
impacting achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
National and international markets are beginning to demand and require seafood products to come from sustainable sources and fisheries with better practices. In response to this demand, the Costa Rican government, led by:
The platform will be driven by its participants, linking ongoing and new efforts to set up a dialogue, enhance synergies, reach consensus among national and international stakeholders, producers,
companies, and civil society to improve the social, environmental and production performance of the value chain of seafood products in Costa Rica.
The country’s fishermen and exporters have expressed a commitment to be members of this initiative.
