Trase brings greater transparency to global coffee supply chains
A new Trase dataset on global coffee supply chains provides our most detailed view yet of global coffee sourcing, linking countries of production with the export markets they supply. We identify the leading coffee trading companies and estimate where particular traders and markets source coffee from within key coffee-producing countries. The publicly accessible dataset supports government, business and civil society efforts to address the environmental and social impacts of the sector, such as deforestation and child labour.
