TRACEABILITY OF THE PALM SECTOR
Good practices implemented in Guatemala to ensure crop sustainability
When we talk about traceability, we refer to the implementation of processes or procedures that make it possible to be certain of the origin and the route, in a production cycle, through which a raw material or product passes. Therefore, traceability systems make it possible to ensure the origin of a product or raw material. In the case of palm oil, traceability systems based on satellite monitoring and analysis are relevant because they constitute a technical basis to ensure that the crop was established and developed from the beginning, free of deforestation; it can be demonstrated that there was no substitution of forests for the establishment of the palm plantation.
