Discover our rubber traceability protocol
Co-produced with the trader Edelsource (formerly Cocoasource), this protocol is dedicated to the traceability of rubber for small operators and establishes the requirements for setting up a robust system of traceability of rubber from the farm to export.
The main objective of this protocol is to ensure the total traceability of rubber cup lumps, by providing reliable information on the geolocation of production plots and the production period.
Models and tools are made available to support all stakeholders, from small farmers to local exporters, in order to ensure their compliance with the requirements set out in the protocol.
