At the request of the @fairtradeftao.bsky.social, we carried out a research project on the implementation of the UTPs Directive (bit.ly/3CToNCe) beyond the EU. We explored the cocoa exporting sector in Ecuador. Download the full report here: bit.ly/4hNgVB5

Invest in awareness raising, legal support & complaint mechanisms so food suppliers in Global South reap the benefits of Directive. @fairtradeftao.bsky.social @oxfameu.bsky.social & other NGOs call on @ec.europa.eu to ban purchasing below cost of sustainable production & more UTPs.

My colleague María Laura Helguero is in the EP presenting research on EU Unfair Trading Practices (UTP) Directive in the cocoa sector in Ecuador commissioned by @fairtradeftao.bsky.social. Key findings: exporters to the EU are not aware of Directive, UTPs still a common feature. Recommendations👇
