There is a lot of improvement needed, from unprofessional and unprofitable smallholder farming to low quality post-harvest management and product/food waste in the trade. Through a mapped, traceable and transparent supply chain, sustainability activities from responsible businesses can be targeted to those in the supply chain who need improvement. There can’t be traceability without digitizing smallholder farms and the downstream supply chain to processing facilities and factories. There is no sustainability in smallholder farmer dominated agriculture without product traceability to the plantation.
