The challenge
Argentina is Europe’s largest peanut exporter, with most of its supply coming from just a dozen suppliers. Since 2021, a core group of SAI Platform peanut buying members has worked together to improve sustainability in the sector. Building on previous phases, the Project provides a structured framework to deliver capacity building, measurable adoption of improved practices, and independently verified data to support Scope 3 claims for participating member companies and their clients.
Objectives
Scale the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices across the Argentine peanut sector, supporting growers and industry partners in implementing these approaches at scale. The project will also generate and openly share key learnings to accelerate wider sector transformation, while providing participating companies with credible, science based data to substantiate sustainability claims.
- Building supplier capacity through practice implementation and knowledge-sharing activities.
- Developing and institutionalizing a Rulebook for regenerative practices in peanuts.
- Supporting adoption of service crops, no-till, and EIQ monitoring as baseline improvements (Track 1).
- Creating space for voluntary innovation through Track 2 practices (agroforestry, hedgerows, biological inputs).
- Establishing an effective MRV system to ensure transparency and credibility of results.
- Strengthening collaboration between companies, suppliers, and local stakeholders.
