(TFA), through its "China Green Value Chain Task Force," is also playing a critical role in aligning global supply chain stakeholders with China’s sustainable development goals.

As part of efforts to decouple soft commodity production from deforestation and land conversion, the working group recently facilitated a groundbreaking agreement: Brazil will supply 1.5 million tons of certified sustainable soybeans to China.

This landmark deal, involving COFCO International—a subsidiary of COFCO Group—and Modern Dairy and China Shengmu, both under Mengniu Group, clearly demonstrates that private-sector stakeholders, backed by the Tropical Forest Alliance, have already made significant strides in driving a green transformation of agricultural supply chains.

If the Brazilian and Chinese governments can send clearer signals and provide stronger support—drawing on precedents set by other industries—through bilateral sustainable trade agreements and sustainable procurement policy guidelines, it could serve as a critical catalyst for scaling up these efforts.
