“…Oil palm fruits are harvested throughout the year in Ghana, with yields typically higher during the first half of each year (Brønd, 2018), and we obtained fruit yield data for each study farm from 1 st May to 30 th September 2017 (~10 harvests per farm on average, including both higher‐ and lower‐yielding periods of the year), which was considered sufficient and appropriate to characterize variation in yields across farms. A field assistant was appointed in each of the two focal communities and was responsible for liaising with the selected smallholders on a daily basis and measuring and recording the number of fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) obtained whenever harvesting took place, together with the combined weight of FFBs and loose fruit.…”

“…Sub‐Saharan Africa holds 24% (4.5 Mha) of the world's total oil palm cultivated area but because the most rapid deforestation driven by oil palm growth in recent decades has been concentrated in SE Asia, recent expansion in sub‐Saharan Africa has largely been overlooked. Oil palm is native to West and Central Africa and has a long history of cultivation in the region as both a subsistence crop and a cash crop, with smallholder farmers playing an important role in terms of both land use and the production of “artisanal” oil‐palm products (Brønd, 2018). By 2050, edible oil consumption across the region is predicted to triple relative to 2013, with smallholders being the main driver of growth in this sector (Folefack et al, 2019; Ordway et al, 2019).…”

“…Cadeias produtivas que utilizam rastreabilidade garantem melhor qualidade de seus produtos, reduzem a perecibilidade de itens alimentícios e eliminam a ação de produtores que não respeitam os princípios éticos de segurança e confiança dos consumidores (LIU, 2022). 2021). O método permite analisar tendências e tipos de relacionamentos entre diversos atores -indivíduos, grupos e organizações (GHORBANI et al, 2021).…”

“…foram exportados e 79,6% seguiram para o mercado interno brasileiro (ABIEC, 2019). O USDA (2021) revisou os dados esperados de estoque de rebanho e produção de carne bovina entre os principais países produtores. O Brasil aparece na segunda posição com 252,7 milhões de cabeças de gado em seu rebanho ficando atrás somente da Índia com 305,5 milhões.…”
