Producers hold the key to halt biodiversity loss Dutch demand
for products from tropical regions is influential in the rapid
decline of local plant and animal species (biodiversity) in
those regions. These are not only products such as palm oil,
coffee, wood, or soy for animal feed, but also meat and fish,
all delivered to us via trade chains. Some of these products are
consumed directly, while others are used in the production of
export goods. Examples of such exported end products are wood
products and meat (with imported animal feed used in the
production of the latter). Therefore, producers hold an
important key to halt biodiversity loss by making their trade
chains more sustainable. For further information, please contact
