Project
Argentina Peanut Sustainability
Overview
Implementing the FSA across the Argentinean peanut sector to align the industry and identify opportunities for progressing sustainability
- Duration

- Location

- Commodity

The challenge
Argentina is the single largest exporter of peanuts to Europe, with the majority of the Argentinean peanut supply coming from only about a dozen suppliers. With changing European legislation, it is imperative that growers selling into Europe act proactively in order to meet increasing demands for sustainability from buyers. Additionally, with the short supply chain found in Argentina, there is the opportunity to move the industry collectively towards common sustainability goals.
Objectives
- Implement the FSA with major suppliers of peanuts in Argentina
- Develop localised support and capacity for FSA implementation in Argentina
- Identify opportunities for a second phase of the project focused on continuous improvement
