SAO PAULO, March 3 (Reuters) - The Brazilian unit of Bunge Ltd is launching an effort to make sure that soybean growers in the Cerrado area who indirectly supply the company are producing their crops in an environmentally responsible way, according to a statement on Wednesday.
The Cerrado biome is a vast tropical savanna or biodiversity hot spot where the bulk of Brazil’s oilseeds are planted.
The company said the move involves guiding grain resellers to implement “chain verification systems,” which include the use of satellite imaging to track the origin of the grains.
“Resellers will be able to adopt independent imaging services or use Bunge’s geospatial monitoring structure, free of charge,” the statement said.
